Sure no prob. However after playing with SQL for a little bit... I will use them when I can - esp. since the code in my Net.Data macros is EXACTLY the same in my RPG now - and LOTSA RPG code can be replaced with SQL built in functions... I rather like the embedded SQL - & it avoids things like level checks when the files change... things like soundex lookups can be a dream in SQL 'cause it's built in. Honestly - it's just another tool in the toolbox that's all - the best way to complete a project (as long as it adheres to standards!) is the quickest.

I don't have time to get in a long "SQL vs. DDS Wars" thread.. but I beg to differ... ESPECIALLY in this particular case, where all that's needed to solve the problem is a half-line of code.
