Oh, I absolutely agree (which is why in my original post I said I "abhor" text formats). But for the purposes of source control, it has to be the "main" file, not some export, that's text. Ideally, my app would have a domain-specific diff tool built-in, allowing for a nice binary file, but that's a lot of work! ;-) -- Rick
