The latest build includes hierarchies and gives the ability to pass macro values into lower levels of the hierarchy. A "generate database" command allows the hierarchical database to be expanded into a flat database file. The syntax used to implement hierarchies in VDCT will be incorporated into 3.15 so that hierarchies can be expanded at load time should you desire. John.
