In further developing one of my projects I have added a few extra fields here and there to some of the tables and changed the width of some fields in other tables. I am thinking, if I take a copy of the DBC from my development folder, open that DBC and ZAP all the tables, copy the 'live' data from the DBC currently in use to the just-ZAPped tables (using APPEND FROM) and then copy the newly updated DBC into the live environment.
Questions: 1) Can I have two DBCs open at the same time? 2) Will the above theory work in practice without dumping backlinks, formating etc? 3) Is there anything else I might not have thought of?!
Thanks
