<< ( so prior to issue my dev machine had 4.42 b2 and client had 4.43 b1 server

1. I just installed the latest version of dbisam server and utils and components on my machine. ( to match the version of dbsrvr on clients pc )
2. recompiled the app.
3. loaded to client machine.

The problem was solved.

Note sure why the version would have made a difference  .... but that worked for me. >>

It didn't make a difference, it was just a coincidence.  An #11010 error is exactly what the error message says: the table files don't exist in the database location that you're using.  I suspect that your DBISAM Database Server was using a different configuration whereby your database definitions had different paths in them.
