Notice that I used the opening book for Fritz PowerBook 2004 because the desired database was on the CD. That would have given me a basis for comparison so that I could verify the procedure. My intended purpose is not to do this for the Fritz PowerBook 2004 since I already have Power2004.cbh. Instead, I wanted to be able to do this for other books, such as those produced by Chessbase 8.0 when the Opening Report feature is used. Bob D.
