>We (Garry and me) are working for the same company, so we are looking for the same solution. Here is our problem in more details. We have 2 the same containers located in the different folders. After importing file in the system program generates record in a log table, belonging to the container. When user imported data from the table which belongs to another container some time program creates record not in the container where we imported TO, but imported FROM.

I believe that DE is suitable for this situation. When you want to change Database you just run:
****Form.Changedatabase method
lParameter cNewdatabase && new database path-name
With Thisform.Dataenvironment
.Closetables
Thisform.Setall("Database",cNewdatabase,"Cursor")
.Opentables
Endwith
