Yup. However I noticed when running 1.3.25 devel (or whatever it curerntly
is) I had to install MDAC2.7 in order to get ADO 2.7 Ext for DDL and
Security (Migration vbp). Fortunately I had already downloaded it a few
weeks back but had not got round to installing it!

Ta. Sort of guessed there are troubles between a devel and a release
version on same PC. I will follow this guidance. I did a buildall anyway,
which helped, but I dont get many addins in the menu, so I will remove
devel and do build all to see if much changes.

I also got Mark's zip file installed and have started to tour round it a
bit. Slowly getting up to speed on the basic layout of all code and object
model. Well done with pgSchema, I can see how this is making life
considerably easier.

Has anyone else put on Mark's code yet to see where its up to? (other than
Mark himself of course!)
