For example, once you delete the 1st variable (whose ID is 5) the 8th variable becomes the 7th. Better if you only save the variable you need as Leandro pointed out.

The script Allin had suggested worked fine for me: store newfile.gdt list open newfile.gdt Best, Henrique Enviado via iPhone Em 09/08/2010, às 15:52, artur bala <artur.bala(a)laposte.net&gt; escreveu: Le 09/08/2010 19:01, artur bala a écrit : Le 09/08/2010 18:31, Leandro Zipitria a écrit : Quick answer: just save the variable you need in a new database (they are very few).
