> I also use the gendbc as explained above. What I do is create another .exe file (usually called patch#.exe or something of that sort.) Gendbc in vfp 6 is better because it breaks each view/table into a function call. My patch only contains the functions I need. Normally I will check for the existance of the view or table before I run it - no sense in asking for trouble. If it doesn't exist or is modified, I will delete the view the recreate it. Next I check to see if it was built correctly. I've been doing this for quite some time and it has worked well for me.

Robert,

Thanks for the additional information. This all sounds great, it's nice to get some confirmation on this type of processing.

Kind Regards,

Mat
