Jan, you can use DbChange on an existing database i believe, or if you are creating the database from scratch you can supply the curr/max/increment values in the capacity statement. i don't think DBUTIL has the ability to turn DCE on. i use Adager to turn it on or off by supplying the curr/max/incr values in a CHANGE CAPACITY command. -- thanks........eric kundl NylCare IS - manager/programmer ICQ: 3154765 [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] http://www.netcom.com/~ekundl/ Jan Gerrit Kootstra wrote in message <[log in to unmask]>... >Dear MPE gurus, > > >How can I start Dynamical Detail Expension on an existing image >database, without using third party software like DBGENERAL? > > >Has anyone any ideas? > > >Thanks in advance, > > >Jan Gerrit Kootstra > > >Please reply to this newsgroup, sender and receivers if possible. >
