Hi Mike !

I must put my 0,02$ here. VFP is database product and HAVE TO has its own good database and view designers . Fox community is great, but let them/us make great VFP application and let VFP team do what they should to do (great VFP)
In others MS product are great designers (IMO), maybe MSFT should just incorporate them into VFP .

Since the DBC, as you know, is jsut a DBF, what might be more interesting than adding this functionality to the Database Designer, would be to open up some of its existing functionality, and creating a system variable for _databasedesigner which we could set to any 3rd party .app.

>>Nice idea. Also, it would be better to make a tree-like list in the datbase container for quick access to the individual tables (instead of option "Find"). When entire page with tables is a diagram for relations, individual objects could be accessed and changed by using list. Also, good printing of the entire database contained with tables and their relations would be very good too.
