Hi I am looking for a better way to update users I need to update several users to my latest App but some of the users don't have all the newest columns I have added the past year. User A may have Column A,B,C user B may have A,B,C,D but my newest table has A,B,C,D,E. Also some tables have a computed column. In the past I would take my current DB and delete all the data,run a command file to Unload their data then Load their data into my empty DB. I would Unloading each table using a Column List, wait for an error, edit the command file to drop the column that gave the error until I don't have any errors. Thanks for any suggestions Marc
