>>If you mean to make a table a member of two databases, I don't believe that you can. A table's container database is stored in its header info. To change a table from one container tothe other, just remove it from the first and add it to the second. After reading your question though, I became curious as to how the .dbc stores the location of its tables. I opened the .dbc as a table and browsed it: no path information to be found. I guessed that maybe the path would be stored in my dbcx metadata table, so I opened it and looked at the table records: no path. This has got me extremely curious as to how the dbc knows where the tables are. If anyone can enlighten me... please do

Erik,

I think as per campbell's suggestion, you must get the thing.
Thanks for the reply
