If my memory is correct about this, it may be a cause for concern. For example, if WebCat assumes that every database has a unique name , it might mix up two or more open databases that have the same names even though they reside in completely different folders ...Sincerely, Ken Grome ..... ken@iav.com http://usarea.net/home.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
