Dear Bruce, Your solution appears more comprehensive and elegant than I envisioned.
My suggestion was more along the line of an R:Base feature included with the program. Please share how you do this, as it also suggests some strategies for organization, and sub-directory management. All the best, Randy ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Bruce Chitiea <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 5, 2023 9:52 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Database CHOOSER Randy: Thanks to help from the list a looong time ago, I built a variable-driven CHOOSE structure driven from the R:BASE startup file.

I've intended to build this all into an RFF, but it just keeps producing, and I'm lazy. If you (or anyone) would like a copy of the startup file, just let me know; and I'd be happy to discuss the tweaks you'd have to make. Best, Bruce Bruce A.

I have multiple RMD files in the same subdirectory that basically say: Change directory to the directory where my desired database is located. OPEN this database. I would like a choose command that lists all my files ending in .RMD. That way I can select the RMD file, and use: RUN name.RMD which will take me into the correct subdirectory, and open the database. Do users with multiple databases have a desktop icon for each database, or how do you navigate from among them?
