William,
>>> The later boils down to 1 menu selection. <<<
Indeed. ... I've set-up a menu item. Next question - is there
anything like old 'AUTOEXEC.BAT' of DOS that will automatically fire
once a *particular* database is loaded ? Sure ... I can do key-
strokes 'Alt - Tools - Custom Import', it's not a big trouble, but
if upon loading a *particular* database, if the custom import fires
automatically, then it's one less thing to do using key-strokes.
What I need is 'database specific invoke'. Therefore, what comes to
mind is setting up a little window for that database and calling
custom import from within the window indicator. Any other suggestion
(s) ?
Regards,
