texte = Is it ok to append just a single field without adding blank spaces forthe others?For example.....My.db hasID FIELD1 FIELD21 blah blah2 blahlah blahblahAnd More.db hasID FIELD3 FIELD41 blah blahSo when I run this program...... More.db becomesID FIELD3 FIELD41 blah blah2With the 2 record not having any blank entries for the field3 andfield4. Now, I need to have some further editing ability later to adddata to the 2 record's FIELD3 and FIELD4 records. Will this be possibleif they don't have blank entries (no tabs)?If I have the program [replace]ID=[id]&FIELD3=&FIELD4=[/replace] then itwill delete all the previous FIELD3 and FIELD4 data in the more.db.Hmmmmmm....- Ben-----Original Message-----From: WebCatalog Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On BehalfOf Christer OlssonSent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 4:10 PMTo: WebCatalog TalkSubject: Re: relational db question>Ok, my.db may have id's that are not in more.db.
