Kevin or ???

I have an applicaiton the is being used by multiple clients. Each client has a degree of customization. In the development mode I have had a single project and swapped data directories (containing the dbc and all tables, views, etc) depending on the client I was working on. It worked while I only had a couple of clients, but now, with more clients its too easy to have the wrong data.

I have been looking for ways to improve the situation.

Refer to the base project as the parent and all other clients as children.

My thought now is to:
1. Create a project for each child using QStart.
2. Use GENDBC to create a view script of the parent dbc.
3. Update the child dbc with the above view script.
4. Subclass all parent classes into the corresponding libraries in the child project.
5. Use VCXEDIT on the dataenvironment library of the child to change the dataenvironment of the child.

It sounds like a lot of work but its the only way I can think of to take care of the problem.

Does any see any problems with the above plan, or has anyone a better solution?

TIA

Regards,

Bill
