Can you provide more details such as "what command" exactly did you enter.
And does the same command works when you type it directly in dosbox?

i am adding

mount c c:\db4
c:
dbase.exe

then saved it in the conf file but when i opened the dosbox
it says

z:\>mount c c:\db4
Drive c is mounted as local directory c:\db4\
Z:\>c:
c:\dbase.exe
illegal command c: dbase.exe

it does the same when i type it directly in dosbox..🙁

please help me..thanks for the reply..😀

Mounting folder is obviously working, just that the exe is not there. Check where that really is on your computer and provide a screenshot of explorer showing the file

mount c c:\db4
cd db4
c:
dbase.exe

you can always type "dir" in dosbox
