Hi Markus,

Wow, thanks, that's very generous of you. Just reading through that code has given me a great insight into what is required to set up a database and table.

I have been using IBExpert, but I think I will revert to the pure form of creating tables from code as you have outlined. It will help me with visualizing what is going on.

I am fast learning that some of this building-stuff is a lot more involved, but then at the end user end, it is much less involved and a great deal easier to manipulate the data.

Very much appreciated.

Dave
