That build did at least survive some simpleminded tests. I also checked with a symlink pointing to a symlink pointing to the db file; but I didn?t check to see if creates any temporary files in the proper directory. I also note that the new still fails with an unhelpful error message if it fails to find an absolute path to the db file, but that is more cosmetic. More importantly, it works even if getcwd fails, if pointed to a symlink that resolves to an absolute path. So the code seems about as robust as one might wish. Thanks! ? Harald
