People love their .hdr files, but I prefer to have all-in-one db files. I do exactly as John suggests, and use essentially a header file as a template when necessary, then populate the new database. Couldn't be simpler, and fewer files to keep track of on the server too. Since I sit next to my server, I do a lot of checking of the live databases as I develop, and it's handy to see the headers in the same file, particularly when there's been a time lapse between development sessions.Terry-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
