The man responsible for this travesty is no longer employed at the client site.. so as to why It
cannot be answered. Looking at the rest of his handwork I'm not sure if I had the answer as to why
it would be useful. I am still stuck with 50+ files that at some point the key was "moved or
renamed" the original "key" files are there with data in them and the client would like to use the
tables. I can trick the system into thinking the "key" is returned back to the name "key" but it
takes 10 minutes a file, I just have to believe there is an easier way to address where the "key"
is if the system thinks it has been renamed.

- And yes the best answer is "don't do that". But sometimes someone Else's "don't do that" keeps
the rest of us in business.

Thanks for the quick response
