But that still requires complex logic of updating and keeping things in sync. It would be an interesting experiment to see if I could get such a system up. Thanks for putting me on that track.

I think it should be pretty straightforward: create table foo(db, tbl, prop, val). Hi Erik, that’s what I’ve done — but it has been a long time and my memory is hazy.

What (and: how many) table(column)s did you use? Looks like ideal to have a common place to store 'generic' captions for fields in HTML forms. Cheers, Erik. Hi Xaprb,

The new table will have a new object ID, and no properties will be copied over. You could write a procedure that accepts two table names, looks up the extended properties for one, and copies them to the other.</p> Hi Tony,
