While this has probably been discussed before, the changes that you probably wish to do are exactly the reason why DataPerfect lost its traction. I've used DP since v.2.0 and the inability to change the structure without having to download and then upload the data has caused me to use other database products for clients. And that is really a shame because of all of the other positive aspects of the program.
