hi, im pyromaniac, you may remeber me from such gormless posts as...etc

anyway, im looking for a method of making my program generate DBpro code, and then saving it into a file (.txt or whatver i can use) then opening it in a different program.
for example, in program A i click some stuff and it automatically generates the code into a file, then i can open and run it in program B

does anyone understand what I mean? and is this possible?

Part A of your plan is easy. Open a text file for writing and write strings to it containing DBPro code. Simple.

Part B however is impossible. You cannot load up a text file and parse it for commands and you cannot give away the DBPro compiler with your software making it somewhat difficult to achieve what you want.

Cheers,

can i save to a dbpro or dba file somehow? I've seen this done in the particle generator (or particle factory or something like that)
