I ran updates under Thor. Though GF 4 and 5 are installed and I use 5 regularly, Thor claimed GF was not installed. So I checked it so that it would be installed when the other tools I use were updated. Everything seemed to go fine and I got a new menu under Thor Tools/Applications for "Go Fish" (there was already one for GF 4 and one for GF 5). When I clicked on that menu option, it presented a form telling me about how the GF table structures would be updated (or something to that effect). So I clicked Ok (or whatever) and it did its thing, but when I open GF 7, I get a Open dialog where it wants me to select the table to open in the GF_RESULT database. I have not idea which one to choose and I imagine the table it's looking for may not even be in the database. I guess it's trying to open the table that has the results from the last search? Anyway, I can cancel that dialog and GF opens, but every time I open GF I get the Open dialog.

✔️ GF opens and lets me search

What is the expected result of the above steps?

❌ Actual result

Apparently the upgrade from V5 to V7 did not go smoothly. I suggest the following to try again.

Set _cliptext = Home(7)

This is the folder where the home folder for GF7 is found.

In File Explorer, paste that into the address bar.

You will see a folder named GoFish_. (Note the trailing underscore!) Rename or delete it.

Then try running GF7 again.
