Hi John.

Packing your database shouldn't mess up the SDT meta data because the USER memo field in the DBC contains an ID value that links the database object to the appropriate records in the meta data. IOW, the meta data is *not* linked by the DBC record number (which would be bad, since packing would change those numbers) but by a unique ID.

After packing the database (using PACK DATABASE), you'll likely want to clean up the meta data, so bring up the SDT Database Explorer and click on the Validate Meta Data button.
