*Dear Cariotoglou Mike* I was actually waiting for your reply. Ok, No problem. I can understand the work loads. But keep in mind that your utility will be useful to many of the sqlite-users. If you get time ( after two-three months ) please develop it in such a way that I have discribed in previous mail. Myself and someone watching our conversation will be waiting for that. Thanks and Good Luck.
