Sounds like a bug I need to look into.

They are. I did fix the program so that any user event gets saved in a
special config table whenever a database is closed. The user events then
get carried with the database. Now when someone else opens your database it
first checks to see if there are any user events that are not in the Std
Event List and if so, it adds them.

I'm wondering if understood your question correctly, since your first
question seems to imply you realize that this is what happens. Perhaps you
need to ask again and help clarify. You would not need to resend a copy of
CFT-Win or CFT-Viewer with a new database since the above occurs
automatically.
