You're making this too complicated. Just think of each configuration parameter as a variable, like in a programming language. You can set it's value as many times as you want, but reading it always returns the value it was most recently set to. All settings in all files are read in alpha order, and if a value is set more than once, no problem. It will contain the most recent setting. > Thanks again for you help! > > - Carlos > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.
