style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I don’t think you can
associate an element with a specific database, whatever is there is being use
by all databases. What makes you think that the element you see is database
specific ?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The only explanation
might be that your element appears in the dictionary source code after the
database statement associated with the database of interest; this might mean
that the element, although present in the dictionary, isn’t being used by your
database – if so, you could always move the element
statement.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
