Dave,
Before you do that, let me work on this a bit. I'm convinced the
permissions are an issue but then I ran Crystal, I did it in the same
manner I had been running HyperCanvas, except as root. That would
indicate the permissions as root only thing...but it does not cover the
HyperCanvas wine registry thing...
I will try all of these options later today/tonight. I'll let you know
what I find.
Thanks again!!
