This does not work. What I get following the create is
mydb.dbq
mydb.dbq.dat
mydb.dbq.ind

What I have to do now is AFTER the create to go back and add the .vdb to the
file. This is quite a kludge and has become a problem in certain instances.
You see, I am relying on the ValentinaSetExtensions for the .dat and .ind
files as Valentina creates and names those.
Why can't ValentinaSetExtensions handle this?
