Hi Raymond.

>Looking for suggestions to maintain changes to database containers with the tables. I need to keep the master container protected from user intervention. The program always checks the master against the users data container for difference (triggers, procedures, format….) If there is a difference, brings the users container up to date.

Check out Stonefield Database Toolkit -- its Update method will do exactly what you're looking for. In addition, it has method to recreate corrupted indexes, repair corrupted tables headers, define extended properties for data items, automatically redefine views when the underlying table structure changes, etc. More information and a demo version is available at www.stonefield.com.
