Where did the tables go? It's difficult to do any testing until the database handling is stable, so that's the first thing to fix.
It appears that when I started breaking up my original files into segments that I could post I somehow manage to muck up a lot. To my horror I discovered problems similar to what you have described. The database initialization and handling was not a problem.
For some reason I decided to move init_db() to the top of register.ex and call init_db() immediately after declaration. That seems to have solved that problem.
Also, I have abandoned the show() routine in register.e and expanded the routine display_full_note() to take its place.
The Following files in this thread have been edited/update:
register.ex parts 1-3
db_tools.e
register.e parts 1-5 (there is no longer a part 6)
There has been corruption of the *.edb file.
The problem seems to have been in the routine show(). Now execution of the program produces no warning.log or debug.log.
Note that when you have no data in a table running list() will only display a Header label.
The menu labels should be more descriptive: add - means add a record to the current table list all - means list all the records in the current table.
I hope this works now... 
If not maybe I can post/email a copy to interested parties.
