>>Is there a way you can check if a table isn't part of a database? I move a lot of tables around to get information from our remote locations to our web server. Some of these tables originally belonged to a database, so I need some way of checking that before I try to FREE them. If I knew this was going to work perfectly everytime, I could just code for the tables that I know were part of a database. But, things being as they are, I'm being cautious.

OK, thanks. I think I'll make some adjustments to a class I already have for changing the backlink.
