<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The use of the connection string as an
attached library's name is a phenomenally bad choice.
(Indeed, it smells like a hack.) First, users can easily rename them, but
then the knowledge of the connection string is apparently lost.
Second, application designers may wish to make libraries available as part of
their GME-based application and "hide" their locations.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once upon a time I requested and was given the
ability to rename attached libraries programmatically. What I
was unaware of until just this minute is that GME's "Refresh Library"
service is then unusable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I propose that GME permanently separate an
attached library's name from its location.</FONT></DIV>
