This would have some problem that every command you used there should be existed in your app or error occurs (you could use clauses rather than commands though ie: Label "select" just get the rest of select in edit and execute "select &myeditboxcontents").

I made a command window as part of the program. Now I just hit F4 and I can modify the databases, or do whatever I want. Works great!

Thanks to everyone for all your help,
