1. What's New...

VB5(32)  Is a complete re-write of the program, the properties
and setting of the DAO are now editable and default settings
can be stored..  A table repository has also been added.



2. Program Features....

What MDB Utilities Does...  Shareware Version for VB5

A general purpose database utility for any VB5 programmer.
Allows all usual modifications and additions to an existing 
VB *.mdb, fields, indexes and settings can be added, removed
or changed while keeping data intact...

SQL Form allows queries to be tested or executed on the fly..

Tip.. Before opening the record viewer for a particular table,
      select a field in the middle list, this will then sort the
      table by that field when displaying the table records.


WARNING !!! The use of this product may create undesirable
results in your vb database particularly when changing
field types. Backups of the database to be altered MUST be 
made prior to using MDB Utilities. The resulting data in the
new tables is 'AS IS', we accept no liability whatsoever.  

Please note.... The shareware version of this program does NOT
check the hard drive for enough space to make a duplicate of the
database... please check hard disk space is at least double size
of database!   Just in case!!!

Files required to run...

   Standard VB5 runtime files...
