Yes.... However, Isn't it the same principle (not technically but in principle) for linux etc... for databases written by webcat (whether it be permissions or whatever) (I don't work on linux so I don't know for sure.).I believe my utility would work on linux to but I guess I don't know for sure.It use writefile secure=F for the actuall writing of the database.Does anyone know if this works on a linux / windows platform? I would assume so (but we all know what assuming begets).Obviously webcat is going to make a database secure on any platform right? If thats the case, my utility should work for any platform. (haven't tested it).It was primarily created for accessing databases... but since I hid my .inc files as well, I included the feature of writing them also...Like I said, It helps me out tremendously for being able to grab a database and give it to the customer service people for there excell purposes.... so I offered it to the list.It might be that some don't have a need for it. However some might find it useful.cheers, Donovan------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
