   I didn't think so but had to ask.    
   Since the data file name is limited to 8 chars and I have many with similar   
   names that DB starts changing the names to numbers. Now in the qwk pkt you   
   can't tell what the base name is, as its a number.   
   I don't have a work around yet.   
      
   Thanks.   
      
   I've upgraded RG to 1.30 and going to the next one!
