yup that is what i was trying to do.
since i can create tables in the database (container) i figured i should be able to create the container too.
If i can't then i need to supply at a bare minimum a blank database container with the application. So if the specific database i am using is not found then i make a copy of the blank one, rename it to the specific databases name, and then rebuild the tables.
I can do that without any difficulty.
what i don't know how to do is create the filedsn entry for a new installation, other than by doing it manually or supplying the user with instructions, which a lot of users will find quite complicated...
