I didn't necessarily mean that literally. I meant one that I couldn't modify and have it affect the Toolkit globally. For instance, if it gave me a copy of the database instead of the one that is actually used by the Toolkit, that wouldn't be adequate. Sounds to me like it gives me the same thing I have now, but in a documented way. That's great. Thanks, John Diamant Software Development Environments Hewlett Packard Co.
