I think the point Mark was making was to switch away from using the embedded back-end to pretty much any external one. Which is what you often suggest too. Yes indeed. Can HSQLDB be used as an external engine? I thought not, which is why I didn't include it. Mark Stanton One small step

The problem with using dbf files is that you no longer have a relational database. Because Base is then dealing with files not a database engine it will only use one file at a time and will not relate them. Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail
