There are lots of ways to approach this. 1. Keep the database names in a global array, linked list, etc. See any C programming reference for how to declare global variables that are accessible between compilation units. 2. Store the database names in the preferences database and access them with the Pref* functions. 3. Store the database names using the feature manager and access them with the Ftr* functions. 4. Create the databases with different data types, then search or open them using DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator() or DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(). -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow!
