This is exactly what our product "DB Scope" does. You define the layout of your database, and then you can view and even modify individual fields in records. There is support for 14 different types of fields including 6 integer types, Float, Double, Character, String, Date, Time, and DateTime. You can find information including a complete users manual and a free trial version at: http://www.tapperware.com/DBScope/index.html Tom Ward -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
