Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Tim Can we have a reverse engineer table as well please. There are many occasions when I just want the code to create a single table to add to code I already have and rather than reverse engineer the database and cut out the bits I want this would be handy.

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Tim It would also be nice if a possible destination was Notepad (or a memo in EDBMan) because often all I want to do is cut and paste. Roy Lambert

IOW, I'm not sure if I want customers thinking in those terms again with EDB. I'll have to think about this one some more. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Tim I understand your concern (or at least sort of) but if I have a table eg Customers in one app and then develop another with a Customer table which has a couple of different columns I'd prefer to save the typing effort, and achieve consistency. Roy Lambert

I agree with Roy. It's a bit of a pain having to search through a database creation script if all you want is to copy the stuff for one table. Mind you, Context Database Designer gives you all that and more, so perhaps Tim doesn't need to duplicate it all! -- Chris (XP-Pro + Delphi 7 Architect + DBISAM 4.24 Build 1)
