Roy,

Thanks. I'll have a look into this.
But: do you agree that there should be a simple solution for that? With
DBISAM it was that simple!

If you want to go with Tim's default it is as simple as DBISAM. If you want to write your own then there's a few conceptual differences its not much different and because its external to a program it can be reused and hooked into different apps (eg EDBManager) without duplicating code.

The two things I would have done differently are 1) allow the dll's to be hooked up with a full path name (and that's coming) and 2) passed the column name in rather than using another column to say how to handle things but I can see why its been done.

It takes a long time to switch from the elegance and ease of use that DBISAM offered. I know I still have moaning sessions to myself every so often.

Thanks, Roy!

Thanks Roy, I'll download them and check them out.  Hopefully my meagre brain will be
able to understand.

If my aged and befuddled brain can manage to produce them I'm sure your's can understand them.

The biggest difficulty may be my formatting:

I don't break and wrap lines at column 79
I don't have hanging then's etc
I only have blank lines between functions and procedures, and not even then if its in the scope of another function or procedure

If you can't stand that allow an extra 30 mins to reformat.

or use the Delphi formatter. This would reduce the time to 1 second:

I use the version in GExperts but I was thinking more in terms of adding blank lines in
