Todd,
The phfn.pbd file did not get upgraded properly and you now have a version mismatch.
It should be easy enough to fix however...
When upgrading to version 1.03.4.3, the procedure is a little different than previous upgrades. What you want to do is rename your old PowerHome directory and then install the 1.03.4.3 to a different directory (the default is OK if you renamed your old version). Next, copy over your pwrhome.ini and pwrhome.db files from your old PowerHome directory. Also copy over any other files that you've created such as custom web pages, PSP pages, and scripts. Run the PHUPG.EXE database upgrade utility to bring your database and INI file up to date and you should be good to go. More detailed instructions can be found here: http://www.powerhomeautomation.com/upgrade.asp
Let me know how this works for you.
Dave.

Todd,
If you didnt rename your previous version, then the best thing to do would be to reinstall 1.03.4.3 into a totally different directory. Then copy over the phfn.pbd file from the new directory to your PowerHome directory. Try running PowerHome. If it complains about something else being mismatched, then copy over that file as well. Keep going until it says that the database is the wrong version. Run the PHUPG.EXE file and upgrade your database and INI file. Run PowerHome. It's possible that you may have lost your INI settings by installing on top of your previous version. If so, then you'll have to launch the Explorer and reset the values in the "Setup" section.
Let me know,
Dave.

Thanks Dave... I was able to uninstall the mux version and install a fresh one. Then upgrade my dB and then open the pgm.
