Define Database Tip

[Zero Tolerence]

In your tables tab, you can create a tab called "-" and move it between some of your tables. It functions just like the layout "-" or the script "-", it works as a separator.

I'm currently working on a file with close to 20 tables, and this makes it so much easier when i'm in the Define Fields tab. Anyhow, knew you could do this with scripts and with layouts, but just found this one out. Might be helpful if your working with numerous tables.

Unfortunately, only one table named "-" can be created, so only one separator can be made... And the "-" table is a real, but empty table.

You can however make as many layouts named "-" as you like, based on any table occurance.

Yeah I agree with you Sam. If only they allowed you to create more than one and also not have it as a 'real' table. What a tease! ;)

This trick is potential suicide for any real database design.
