Sure. But imagine the following scenario:
User has
- either Old V12 database
- or Valetina database
- plus 3 or 4 additional external files from old installation
- on PC or Mac

So I need to gather Information from various places, not only from an 
existing Valentina Database.
Old database contains basic data Plus own notes and settings.

Now user wants to update to a server DB.

I need to:
- copy new basic Database from CD-ROM to Server directory
- fetch personal settings and notes from V12 or Valentina based 
application locally or over a network
- import additional data from settings files and
- set username, password etc. for admin in Master DB.

This is all already finished and working, i.e. opening, gathering, etc.
The only problem is:
When I am finished with gathering information (using V4MD Xtra) I 
need to write those data into the new server database which requires 
V4MD_Client.
Is there something wrong in opening and closing the Xtras explicitely 
using openxlib() and closexlib()?

Theoretically, I could write an interim database with all the 
information needed to "Databases" then quit out of the projector and 
start a new one to import the data into the server version. But I am 
looking for a less complicated way...
