Hi
Question 1

I am using VB6.0 to create a Database project, which might need 20 different
tables of data. Is it better, from the point of speed of operation, which is
essentail, to have one database with 20 tables, or 20 databases with one
table each, or something in between? I have heard that sometimes files get
broken which can be mended, and re-compacted, if you have Microsoft Access.
This point may be another consideration. It would appear, in this case that
one temporarily lost table is better than 20. Any advice?

Question 2

I need to create one module (program) which takes advantage of two printers
set up with different sorts of paper. What would be the coding to use within
VB6.0 to change the printer default from one printer to the other?

Please either answer within the group or feel free to email me personally at
pen...@dossetts.co.uk

attack the control MS Common Dialog Box to your prog. Then you will have
acces to the printer.
Here you can specify which printer the output is supposed to go to.
