I was just about to hit the same button, when I spotted your reply. If you want a proc to appear in every database you create (subsequent to adding it), place it in model not master. I have experimented with this extensively, to create versions of model that are greared toward specific problems such as order-entry systems or accounting systems or HR systems. I back up model, add the stuff I'm sure I'm going to need, save it and then rename it to something like model_OrderEntry. Then when I have to build one of these, I just rename model to model_virgin and model_OrderEntry to model, then create the database. Not much overhead
