Each library contains the same files with the same file structures. While each library contain several files, only three have a significant number of records. Depending on the number of transactions the campground does and how long they've used our system, the three files can be in excess of 1,000,000 records. We would like to combine all the files into one library since the campground number is a key to each record in each file. Can you offer some advice? >> CLICK here to read Kent's response: http://www.search400.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid516836_tax285216,00.html ____________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- EXPERT PROFILE | Jim Mason, Search400.com Web development expert Jim Mason is president of ebt-now, an IBM and Lotus business partner focused on delivering e-business application solutions for iSeries 400 customers.

Broadband? The commonwealth of Kentucky says high-speed Internet access has reached "inalienable rights" status and that residents of the Bluegrass State deserve it just like they deserve electricity and running water. The Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), which funds low-income housing projects, has ruled that any dwelling paid for mostly with KHC money must have access to high-speed Internet services. Nebraska, Oregon and Wisconsin are pushing for the same thing, but Kentucky is the first to actually mandate broadband access. Dial-up? That's for Tennessee!
