I am new to Vista; have installed Cache and Vista, and it seems to be running OK. What I'd like to know is how easy it is to configure Vista tables; for example, we would not need SSN, VA numbers, combat service location etc for patients but we might need other fields which aren't present in the

It is not wise to remove tables and fields unless you are really sure that you have also removed all the references to them. However, unlike relational databases that have fixed, pre allocated blocks for storage, Cache does not pre-allocate storage, and if a field is not used, it does not take

I agree with Richard on this. Changing the DD definition of a commonly used field like SSN, would most likely have some unwanted, and unintended side-effects. Code that references SSN, would not always be in the Data Dictionary. It would also be in routines, sometimes obscured by indirection.

No. The SECONDARY MENU is a subfile, and hence may have an arbitrary number of entries. Yes. Practically, the SECONDARY MENU is a pointer (reference) to the main OPTION file, so if there are 89,013 entries in the OPTION File, there can only be 89,013 unique entries in the SECONDARY MENU. Of
