Why won't it read my database?
 
I released a script that I wrote, and I zipped up the subfolders too.. I unzipped it myself and tested it out.. it can't find my database.. even though I have told it the right directory and the DB files are in the sub directory.. how can I make it so that my script sees the database files?

Is this perhaps related to the other question about not having the DB window open? Did you open this window and choose to open an existing database and the select the one you wanted?

no, I just want to create a user-configurable autojunk ruitine.. whereas the user can enter the item alias, and the item descriptor as it appears when the item is removed from the corpse.. I thought a database would be the best way to go, because it keeps the alias and description together.. so that when the autojunk rem command is used, it will cycle through the records, and when it has a match of both the alias and the descriptor, only then would it delete the item.. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to delete records, so I'm having it change it to DELETED ITEM, and then the view filters out deleted items.. is there anyway to maintain a list of things .. some sort of data file for a script? I see there is a file command, but I don't see how I can access it to retrieve stored script settings/definitions. If someone can please help me I'd be greatly appreciative.
