Please do *not* start a new question by replying to an old one as this
causes several problems:
     1. most email software will correctly think that your email is a
        response to the email you are "replying" to, and will indicate
        this by displaying your email as a child of the original email
     2. because of this, people not interested in the original email may
        ignore your question
     3. people may think that the original email has a reply(yours) so
        that they do not have to give it a reply

So in conclusion, more people will read your email if it looks like the
start of a new thread rather than the reply to an old one.

I suspect because the list is threaded, anyone who does know or has
experience with the bibiliography database has not seen your question.
It is still buried in the thread you used.

As for an answer, I do not really know but the bibliography is a dBase
file and it is likely possible. While you wait for a more authoritative
answer, dig out your old dB3/4 manuals and try it.
