DB Commander has a Copy function. You might also want to try using Excel.

help pls and i will released it soon when i solved this problem....

If you're going to release a modified version of the NLSC roster, I would appreciate it if you would ask me first. The same goes for using anyone's work - it is considered courtesy in the community to ask the author before using their work in your own patch. It has nothing to do with ego, it is simply a matter of giving credit where credit is due and making sure the original author does not mind you using their work in your project.

I'm generally OK with people using the NLSC roster patch in special projects, but it depends on what the project is. If you're using it as your own roster update, I must decline, because it really isn't fair for me to do all the work up to a point, only to have someone else to re-release the patch with their own updates, as their own...unless of course I've handed the patch over to them.

I don't mean to sound like an ogre, but a lot of work has gone into the NLSC roster update, so I'd like to know what kind of project you're intending to use it for. If you mean to use it as your own current roster update, as I said I must decline for the reasons above, and ask in the spirit of the community that you respect my wishes. If you're planning to make a special teams roster patch that also has fairly up to date rosters, then I don't really have any complaint.

and also Do DB Commander hv a "sort by name/order" function??? since i want to sort the name of the players for an easier tweaking..THX!@!****

So you're using it as a current roster update? I'm sorry, but having put so much work into the roster update, tweaking it based on suggestions, creating players and maintaining the updates over the course of a season, I'm not really comfortable with someone else starting up a roster update after I've done the bulk of the work.

I wouldn't really mind if I was no longer maintaining the NLSC rosters, but if you're going to make your own roster update, it's only fair that you start from scratch, the same as anyone else. Sorry.

[Jimmy]

ok,fine. I am willing to start my work again base on EA's original roster.....
i think that will be ok...!^^

sorry about my fault..!!

and can i ask again that "do db commander hv a *sort by name/order* function"???
thx a lot!!

[Andrew]

I don't think so. I know you can do that using Excel. I still don't recommend using Excel, but apparently the more recent versions do not corrupt DBF files as the old ones did. In any case, make frequent backups and always test to make sure there are no problems with the roster. Sometimes a corrupted DBF file will appear to load without problems, but will cause errors and crashes in Dynasty Mode.

Thank you for being understanding about the situation, and for respecting the patchmaking "code". I certainly appreciate it.
