 * I can see from searches that you’ve had to answer this request- for users to 
   be able to have more than one database- dozens of times.
 * I’ve read through all your answers. One of them is to find in another plugin 
   better suited- my answer to this is I’ve spent a fair amount of time learning
   how to use yours and ideally would like to replicate that knowledge. I don’t 
   feel there is a better suited database.
 * Another answer you give is to be ingenious with fields. I think I could just 
   about make this work, but I have about 30 questions for one set of users, and
   another 30 (different) questions for a different set. I want each set to have
   its own excel doc as it’s too unwieldy to have 60 columns.
 * My ideal solution would have two plug-ins, particIpants-database-v1 and participants-
   database-v2- separate from one another.
 * I can see from your replies that it is more complicated than my simplistic solution.
   I write simply to add my voice to this in the future possible “wish list”. It’s
   something we’d certainly pay for.
 * Once again I’d like to say thank you for a great plug-in and the donation of 
   your time in building this.

 * Thanks for the feedback. I do have grand plans to make the plugin handle several
   databases, but that is a long way off at this point.

 * Great to hear that- I’m sure your grand plans will be welcomed.
 * In the interim, is it impossible to replicate the plug-in, change all the names
   of the appropriate files to something else “barticipants-database”, (or similar,
   but you get the idea!) and achieve something this way?!

 * Possible, but I would only recommend that to experienced coders…and of course,
   I don’t support it.
