Thanks, that's a clever idea I hadn't thought of.

It does help simplify the process, but the only problem I see is that I would have to create passwords for the AltLinkOwners' myself. It's not hard to do that, but I would imagine that most people would remember their own password easier than one I have assigned to them.

Right now, I think my best bet is to have them register on-line, with an option to become a LinkOwner. Once they have been validated, I would then make them the LinkOwner of their record.

I also could have any record link that is owned by 'admin' display a link like "apply to be the linkowner" whenever a user is logged in. By clicking on it, an email would be sent to me with that users information and the link they want to own.

That might not look that great though to the casual visitors that have no interest in owning links. I guess I could create two classes of users. One for visitors and the other for potential LinkOwners. But that could get confusing on my end.

I'll have to think about this some more.
