Hi Bob.

>I haven't tried this myself, but perhaps it could work. What if you build sdt.app into an .EXE and run it and keep it up on your machine in the background. That way, you wouldn't have to open and close it. Or, you could run a second instance of VFP with SDT loaded and keep it up in the background.

That's a cool idea, and I can't see why it wouldn't work (SDT doesn't open the database exclusively).
