Many of my other dbs are in merge format. I'm almost certain that all the fields in the .hdrs match the fields in the .dbs ('cause the dbs wouldn't work at all if the fields didn't match), but I guess I'll check again . Does anyone have any caveats on using hdr files vs. embedding the field names in the dbs?Thanks.Jim ZieglerOn Apr 7, 2008, at 7:44 PM, Jim Ziegler wrote:> Donovan and Christophe,> First, thanks for you suggestions.>> I do FTP dbs and other files to the server, so owner and group are > *not* www.
