Ken,
Dared already and solved - not only for this but for some other things now I prefer to rewrite DBC behind the scenes :) I was looking for a simplier way.
Now what I do is to get a copy of DBC as a dbf, remove table, add table, get Property, Code, RIINfo, user fields back from copy for items I need.
Thanks.
