Hi Chris,

And I was not planning on putting that explanation anywhere Wink
The ability to modify dbp file is a great option, but is also too
complex for most of the regular users, so I don't want to encourage
any such activities by putting instructions. Just consider them to be
internal files Wink It helps a lot, though, especially on this beta
stage to fix some of the problems by simply altering text files,
so I don't have to release new exe every time.

I will try to do so in the upcoming updates to the documentation.
I have to admit, that I don't know the best way myself, except for
test every SQL script on a demo database before distributing it
to customers.

You're very welcome Wink I hope you'll enjoy using it.
