That would be great

That is a good idea. The information I have till thus far still has included
the name where it was used, so that might be possible. However, I still don't
have much experience with working with databases, that's something I still have
to find out. Therefore, at the moment I just try to obtain as many information
as possible, so when I know more abouyt databases I can really start.

Thanks for your comments, Steve. I have added a link to your page. I had
already tried to find that page before, but that link was leading to an empty
page (I believe that the link was in the links section of LUGNET).
