It will let you print out just about any part of your database, but you can't make global changes or anything useful like that :-) In terms of what you can print out (or browse interactively), you have the option to print a Cross-reference of Commands, Global Procedures, Variables, Externals, Layouts, and the Structure. You can also print all layouts and layout procedures, global procedures, menu bars, and lists. XRef does a nice job digesting a ream of paper. On a mildly involved database, it is not unusual to get 200+ pages of output if you choose all options. I team XRef up with the excellent "N-up Laserwriter" functionality from "DMM Laserwriter Stuff 1.3.1" in order to save my small chunk of forest. Now if we could just figure out why ACIUS thinks XRef needs it's own color pallette.... -- | Paul E.
