But it isn't only an IDE problem, is it? A few other ideas I have: + Have dbSQLite raise a warning if the supplied db doesn't exist, with a short explanation including the supplied path. + Allow for absolute pathing, as an alternative. I don't think this is quite as bad as it sounds, because if you think about it, all database definitions are absolute. An absolute server, an absolute port, etc. Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
