Jean-Pol,

First of all, I'd carefully check the docs about the features xCase has to offer, but I am not too sure it should be doable, because it plays with a model at a time. As far as I know you cannot build a view based on a table in another DBC.

What you could do, however, is generate your B.DBC code with the help of GENDBCx and apply this code to you A.DBC.

By doing so you'll be able to get everything from B into A. That done, from VFP you could update the xCase model from the DBC. And all would be done. Well, not exactly. Since the views will not be migrated into xCase.

Another point, I see you are still with xCase 2.5. xCase 4 has improvements that make the upgrade quite valuable. My favourite are views of views (really easy) and an improved interface (the links are easier to move and will stay where you want them to stay...)
