Don't know how well these tools work with VistA. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 3:43 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] A Fileman 'spider'? Well, actually both. First I would want to have a mapping of how files are inter-related. I.e. is this file only connected to one other file and thus easily replacable with an external global? Or is it linked to 500 other files, and good luck trying to integrate it. Then, when I have established potential link patterns, I will also make a process that scans the entire database for links in actual records/entries, searching for mismatched data. It would take several days probably, but wouldn't have to be done often. Perhaps over a weekend.
