Function CrossIntoDatabase(Name:String;Number:Word):Word;
This allows you to access a database within a database. It
accesses the directory entry with name Name and number Number.
This entry must have its directory attribute set.
Once you have accessed the database within a database, make sure
you do not make that database any larger or smaller. If you do
so the calling database(s) will have incorrect directory entries.
You can manually change the directory entries should you so desire,
however I recommend you do the following should you need to shrink
or expand a database within a database:
Extract the database with GetDataFile. Then delete it from the
database. Open the sub-database which is now a separate database
which can be modified freely, make modifications and then use
NewDataFile to insert it back into the original database.
You can however read or use ModData on a database within a
database.
