I set up a shared section and under that a unique section. Since I deal with TV stations that sometimes have two seperate channels, i use the call letters for the unique section: BASE=/u/protrack DBASE=/u/protrack/$STATION DBPATH=$DBASE Before setting the DBASE and DBPATH, I set STATION to wxxx or wyyy Each DBASE Directory can then have it's own 4ge or 4gi files as well as it's own .frm a.d .ace files. This makes updates a breeze as well. -- gburnore@garys.arasmith.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- How you look depends on where you go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | '۳''''''۳''''''''''''' Gary L.
