[BEU-Support] BackEnd Upgrader ?

You say you import the tables into a single db.

Could you simply relink to each db when needed?  That way you could define
changes in the BEU and everytime you relink to another BE, that BE will be
updated with the structure changes.

You will have to have a relinker (the Linked Table Manager will not work).

You relink to the new BE, the BE version is checked and updated as needed.

Does that make sense?  I'm willing to help make it work if it would satisfy
your needs.
