Alex,

Thanks for the info.  It clears up another thing that was bothering me. 
 How did a DB file get on my machine if Base was not installed?

I started using Ubuntu at at around 9.04 or 9.10 and did a distribution 
upgrade to 10.04. So at this point Base was installed and I must have 
created the DB file.  When I went to 12.04 I decided to do a clean 
install. I popped in a new hard drive and installed 12.04 and slowly 
transfered stuff from the 10.04 hard drive. I must have transfered that 
DB file at that time.

Regards,  Jim
