>You'd need to write to tables' headers and into a binary field in the dbc (in the records of Table type). For the first, you need to fOpen() the dbf - just make sure that you first create a link to a dbc with a long path, so that you can replace it with a shorter one (plus a null byte trailing!) in the dbf's header. As for the binary in the memo in the dbc, I assume the same technique would work - strtran(memo, oldPath+chr(0), newpath+chr(0)), but you better export the memo into a file and look at it under a hex lens. These binary memos aren't exactly rocket science, and aren't really complicated. You just need to care about the trailing bytes, and maybe the prefixing bytes. I know I've hacked that when I was writing my indexer, and at some point I had to excise the primary key info from there and let it be put back later. Um... think that the trick was in issuing a Compile Database every two steps :).

Yeah, I've got it working quite nicely now. I can move the DBC and tables around to all kind of different places, including changing the relative pathing between them and it reconnects everything when first opening the DBC and the tables.
