interpreted = N
texte = Oh yeah, of course! Color me red-faced. Okay, so you just rename it as "openfield" or "available" or something. I think once you're in BBEdit, this mistake would probably become obvious. Still, very bad to write it out with such a big error. The Apple thing: NO COMMENT. But you can now buy my laptop covers at TightJacket.com. Oh... and anyone need any product or other photography? I got the Canon 5D last year; it's a great 13 MP full frame DSLR... Didn't buy a new car though. ;) Terry >Terry, I was trying to politely hint that if one was to replace >field values with >nothing.. then delete the field name, the database would then be munged. > >"Munged" <-- Donovan's favorite descriptive for messed up databases. > >Your idear may/may not work if the fieldname column was the last in >the fieldname line...
