Perhaps there would be a way to associate a specified header with a database once, then assume the header file for all further operations. Something like: [dbheader db=db/my.db&hdr=headers/my.hdr] This would open the database with the specified header file. If the database is already open with a different header file, return an error. To switch header files for an open database, the developer would need to [closedatabase ...] first. Possibly this "dbheader" command could save the settings to a WebDNA preferences file somewhere so you wouldn't need to use the call on every page that might open the db. - brian On Wednesday, August 20, 2003, at 10:39 AM, Scott Anderson wrote: > That sounds like it could be useful.
