Thanks, all of the above is exactly the way I was thinking of doing it but I
thought I would ask to see if there might be something a bit more "spiffy".
I actually don't use a database for any of these types of things anymore. I
always just write out a file and <@Tokenize it back in when I need to. I do
an <@IFEMPTY check on the write and if there's no data I enter a zero so
that the <@Tokenize doesn't have nulls. Works like a champ, it's completely
portable and there's no DB connectivity, DB hassles of any type.
So, it's a flyswatter to swat flies. On some of these little apps a database
would be a howitzer.
Thanks for the tips and feedback.
