That's what it is for. Symbolic links and other O/S fooling systems will not guarantee that the WebCat engine will realize that the file is identical to one already loaded. See the docs on [include] for some discussion of the Globals folder "^", although this works fine for DB's too. I would recommend creating a Globals/DB folder and use that ( refer to it as "db=^DB/databasename.db").
