Going back might create a different set of problems. The upgrade makes changes to the database and  also to the application so going back means restoring both.

I take it that neither of John's solutions http://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=2806 are solving the problem for you ?

Hi Steve
The new application is detecting that one of your registry settings points to a folder that does not exist. Although it is being more fussy on startup at least it is exposing a problem that ought to be sorted as it means some functionality elsewhere won't work.
Are you comfortable with using the registry editor? If not then I suggest trying to find someone who is before attempting this fix. To fix the problem, open the registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dorset Software\Recorder 6\Settings. You will find there is a key called Import Template Path, which should be pointing to a folder that does not exist. One quick way of fixing this properly is to delete the Import Tempate Path key and then start Recorder, then close it. Press F5 to refresh the registry editor and you should find it now points to the correct place.

Thank you John - this seems to have done the trick
