This is my biggest concern with this approach. Opening a "dummy main" DB in the filesystem isn't a viable option - this is library-level code for which we don't have a directory/location which "belongs to us" which we can pollute with temp DBs (other than $TEMP/$TMP, of course, but opening a db there as a main db would be a horribly ugly kludge). @Dave: i'll research what the side effects of such a change would be. (It'll likely break more docs than code.) In the mean time, i think the workaround is to simply leave off the db names (since we know we don't have table name collisions). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
