texte = I've seen enough people ask how to add a field to a database that I thought I'd propose this:[ADDFIELD db=SOME.DB&field=FIELDNAME] This would add a new field (FIELDNAME) to a databse (SOME.DB).and [COPYFIELD db=SOME.DB&field=FIELDNAME&todb=ANOTHER.DB&TOFIELD=ANOTHERFIELDNAME] This would copy the entire field column to another field (in another database, possibly) with the entries in their original order. If the tofield target doesn't exist, it is created. I can't think of too many uses for this (since it's easily done with WebDNA), but I'm sure someone can.MichaelMichael Winston *By e-mail!: michaelw@dhorse.com Internet Coordinator *By web!: http://www.dhorse.com/ Dark Horse Comics, Inc. *By fax!: 503/654/9440 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
