Ok, thanks Alexander - I'll have a look in the repository.

I didn't express myself v. well when I said the information in the .fmt was atomic. FMT seem to consist of a stream of DEFINE clauses such as

DEFINE FRM50_IDFO
BEGIN

   IDFOS_POI = 3854
   IDFOS_OID = 3856
   IDFOS_NAM = <<"">>
   IDFOS_TYP = 94
   IDFOS_OOI = 3853
   IDFOS_OPN = 487
   IDFOS_CNT = 2

END just wondering if there's a publicly available document explaining the structure of FMT files.

Many thanks

Olly
