Back in 2007, I'd build the database inside of RB by using code as follows....

  // make the tables here
  
  tbl_cont = tDatabase.CreateTable("tbl_cont")  // Contacts
  

  //************************************
  // make the fields of the tables here
  //************************************
  
    // Contacts

  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_category", 10, EVFlag.fIndexed) // 
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_type", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) // 
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_status", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) // 
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namelast", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namefirst", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namemiddle", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namenick", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_nameprefix", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namesuffix", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namepref", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_namecomplete", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) // assembled name with full name aspects
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_nametotal", 100,  EVFlag.fIndexed) // assembled name with all name aspects
  call tbl_cont.CreateStringField("cont_title", 20, EVFlag.fIndexed) //
  call tbl_cont.CreateTextField("cont_description", 256, EVFlag.fIndexed) // 
  

With this code tor open an existing database:

  // method to reacquaint the application with the structure
  
  tbl_cont = tDatabase.Table( "tbl-cont" )

This answers my question....I think....

Now the question is how do I buy Valentina Studio? I've been crawling all over the Paradigma site and found the Store and Studio. I click on Add to Cart but there's no 'check-out' button. Additionally, I tried to register, but I've yet to receive any confirmation e-mail.

Please advise....

Regards,

Chuck
