Hi Henry,

I see we are neighbors - a fellow Saskatchewan...<s>

Unfortunately Doug is out of town, however I can answer any questions you have. I see that Mark and Randy did a great job already.

As for using SDT with an existing set of data, that is no problem. As Mark describes:

>>All you have to do is follow the few steps in the documentation to add it to your app, add some code to perform the functions you want to include like database validation, reindexing and table repair. Recompile your app, and send it along with the SDT datafiles to your clients<<

It's about as simple as that...

>>If your app is already running with data, the tables will need to opened with Stonefield. <<

SDT only needs to see your development copy of the clients data set - so it doesn't matter if your client has tables already in use, we are only dealing with structures not the data.
