You could, though, figure out some way to list all the open databases and link to a page with a [closedatabase [thisdatabasepath]] which would close just the one you selected.I hope this helps somewhat,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
