Spaces in file names, for example, are justt a dumb idea, as far as I am concerned. But some OSes allow them, causing trouble for all. But a lot of my work is recovering other people's apps, and it would be handy to work with them, even transiently, even if they named the order field 'Order' and the description field 'Desc' > If you know you have a database with "bad" names in it, > you're going to have problems with any tool, not just Dabo Unquestionably. But if you can wrap all table and fieldnames in quotes, some people will. I note other tools, like phpMyAdmin, does this. It might be worth considering, if only to add it as a suggested 'todo' item. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
