even DDS files shouldn't have crap in them...that's why you should
validate data prior to writing data out! be that as it may unfortunately
lots of stuff out there do not do validation (which i would still validate
even with SQL tables). in this day and age every programmer should know
to validate prior to write/update. too bad some 3rd party vendors STILL
don't do proper validation....

Thanks,

It's easy. You defined your fields with DDS right? You can put all sorts

of (expletive deleted) into files created with DDS. Files defined with
SQL check at write time and will NOT let invalid data get into them.
