Lester,

I can't find it in the current documentation, but the database
declaration accepts the keywords EXTERN and STATIC to handle this
problem. If you want to use the same database definition in all
modules, one modules has an unqualified declaration of the database
and all others qualify the declaration as EXTERN. If each module
has separate database attachments (as I believe yours does), each
declaration should be declared as STATIC. I'll grub around and try
to find an example.

Cheers,

Ann
