It's unusual, but it's also the way it is. Why are you so concerned? You edit the file without extension and create a db file with .db extension which the software uses. Perhaps not 100% what you were expecting but if that's how the bits of software are written, what's the problem? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
