Bingo.  The DDS can change based on new data entry into the driver file. 
If they add more causes and remedies then the selection in the main file 
increases using spare fields.  This data is then transferred to a 
warehouse file nightly using the pgms I'm creating now to do so, and the 
user uses Showcase product to run query's.  Instead of having column 
headings such as Spare1, Spare2, we are using the driver file a field 
called description as the headings.  Thanks all for the help, I'm pretty 
sure I'm on the right track now.  :)  Cheers.  And BTW, I'm on the 
nicoderm patch now lol.

I believe I have a pretty good guess about the nature of the file, as our
own Wintouch product does similar things: the programmatically-generated
DDS is used to generate a customizable database for a customizable
product.

Have I guessed correctly?
