texte = You can use both, but I think the .hdr file is a better way to go. It makes DB modification much easier.Say you have a DB that has 1000 records in it. If the header is in the DB file you will need to add a tab at the end of each record. The easiest way would be to import in Excel and re-export with the new header field at the end.Though if you we using a .hdr style all you need to do is add the field to the .hdr and flush your DBs.----- Original Message ----- From: Gregg Luhring
