Thanks Kerry, Colin, and Buzz. I had no idea this would work. I am working on a large program that is database driven. I have one small Director program that reads text files and generates a V12 database, and then the main project that uses the database. I'm always going back and forth to make simple changes. Now I have a way to do this without losing focus of what I am trying to do when I need to make a quick change to my database.
Learned something new - this will be a big time saver.
