Then just add the new field name to the first record and your done. Hope that helps -martynote: Be sure that the DB your modifying is not currently open in WebCat (otherwise WebCat will overwrite your new DB with the old one is has stored in RAM). Which means you need to close down webcatalog or use $flushdatabase xxx to close down the DB. ____________________________________ | Marty Schmid | | -Artwerks- | | Design/Advertising/Web Publishing | | | | T. 619.274.5029 | | F. 619.274.5656 | | e-mail: marty@artwerks.com | |____________________________________| Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
