hi- i'm working trying to 'break' my program i created that is a generic tool for sqlite. the program is only for my personal use but i want to show it to a few people so i need it to have a little error trapping. what happens is i was using sqlitemanager and i put a $ in front of the column name. it drops the entire table. is this a sqlitemanager problem? if someone already has sqlitemanager on their computer can they try this to verify if it is broken ? PLEASE do it on a small table you dont care about. thanks, marvin
