Sorry, I wasn't clear on what I meant. By production, I am referring to the app that is actually being used. Basically, I have two apps: the one that has been through most of the debugging stages an is in alpha/beta testing/production (i.e., it's being used and we're dealing with bugs as we find them) the second is in my development area. My 'production' project uses the regular VFP project manager that has a reference to the database that the 'production' or alpha/beta release of the app is using, and nothing more. Therefore, I can easily reproduce my edits in both the development and production databases. (Does that make sense?)
