Frank,

While I was the IT mgr for an accounting firm, we did all our compilation work in filePro.  Each client was assign a new qualifier. Format "A12".

We had to create the qualifier files from 25 files for each qualifier.  What we did was set up a master set using qualifier "zzz".  I created a simple batch file (doqual.bat %1)  %1 = the qualifier code.  Very simple under Windows.  I would expect the same under *nix.  

One hint, assuming you are NOT using data files just key files; make sure that your master set's data files have at least 1 byte.  That way they will be copied.  

I used xcopy with a /s /e.  If you are on *nix that won't mean a thing.

Hope this helped,

 I am in adding 5 qualifiers to an existing Filepro system....The process of adding them is very tedious.
is there a way to add these qualifiers to all the filepro files via a script or any other way?

Regards
