Hello, Why not remove the feature but create a seperate utility project that converts any version of SQLITE DB to the latest version.
In this way SQLite can be just what it is small and fast. There would be a tool from the orginal source which you would know would work and simple to use. The current version of SQLite would need to error when openning an older formatted DB file. regards Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
