Thats by design (tm), but it might be not the best one. For performance reasons I have splitted my project in a way, requiring 2 database files. The first one holding all sort of tricky information. This database is pretty small. The second one holds somewhat bulky amounts of data. Several millions of rows distributed in 200 tables. I have to care for everything I do with this db. So also deleting the poor thing is at times the best solution todo anything in time. Of course both tables are logically intertwined and I have all sorts of different requirements - open/creating/updating the one, but not the other, etc. Attaching the big one to the small table. At different times not only during creation. For this, it helps to link the file name of one of the databases as a special table entry into the other. To do so, it would be nice to have access to the file name at random times. Micha --
