Richard,

I would put them in another file that does not store any data but is not 
read only.  I would do that for all the stuff.  Then when you display 
data just get it from the read only file.

It can do popups instead of screen displays, looks the same to the 
user.  Kind of depends on how you handle indexes, searching and other 
normal filePro stuff.

How you been?
