Hi Dirk & Folks, thanks for all the positive feedback from many of you...

That solves a lot of issues. I'll also write the INI files into a subdir of the plucker dir, if it can be found so easily. I didn't have a look into the registry, which turns out to be a mistake :) . > - Does writing the ini to the Windir work on all systems (user > rights)?

Good idea - this would eliminate the need to select the DB's to be synced manually. How far is the development of this GUI from being stable and distributed? > - BTW: The rule to get a list of all DB handles are: > All subdirs of the Plucker dir that follow this mask: "*.DB" and > having an file called "plucker.ini" inside are Plucker Channels. That would be nicer as I could display a list of check boxes and the user could just tick them to sync or not. I'd suggest doing it in the GUI and setting an ini file key for it anyway, then the conduit retrieves a list of DB's to sync using your method. Thanks for the input, I'll keep on coding. Especially an installer to automatically register/unregister the DLL would be nice at the moment, these zip+batch files are a bit ugly... Greetings, P
