We have been watching quietly from the sidelines
waiting for IMail 7 to reach reasonable stability.
It seems like it's at least most of the way there,
so we're preparing to upgrade.

We have just under 500 domains served from an
external (Access) database. I know... Not the
best choice. However, so far it's been problem
free and the vast majority of these domains have
only a few users so we're sticking with it for now.

The problem is changing +/- 500 existing tables to
add the new required fields and required defaults
to existing customers. Before I try and reinvent
the wheel, has anyone written an Access macro or
SQL code to handle this? It looks like the simple
SQL solution won't work in Access as it doesn't
support the full suite of ALTER TABLE functions.

Anybody got anything to assist? Anybody got the
name of the person at Ipswitch that thought
multiple, identically-structured tables was even
remotely normalized db construction?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to
provide.
