Okay...where are instructions on how to go about doing THAT business; 
opening the db as a generic VDB and altering the table structure?

It's good that I'm doing this, learning all the pit/prat-falls, on 
something simple.

By the way, is there a nice tool to assist in looking at and modifying 
a database system and its structure? Something like ANALYZER and 
VISUALIZER by Waves In Motion for FileMaker Pro?

Those were particularly useful tools. I'd pay good money to have 
something like that for Valentina databases.
