I too hated the ddb format when it was first introduced. But Protel convinced me otherwise of it's value. Unlike others on this forum, I have never experienced problems with my ddb files so I can't comment on their downsides. But now Protel has abandoned the ddb format and has introduced bugs or omitted more P99SE features in the process. With this new direction, I would almost feel like a fool for following Protel's lead on the ddb format in the first place except for the fact that the ddb format means less work for me.
