Simple Import
Hi

Whats the simplest database for importing links. That allows multiply editors.

1. Id
2. Title
3. URL
4. Description

If I gave the 1st editor the start ID of 10,000, and the
2nd editor 20,000 etc

Could I then import these

Thanks in advance

Editors are designated by categories, NOT record IDs. In addition, there is a limit set to 300 links per editor that you would need to also modify within the maintainer.cgi script.

Good luck!

Hi Eliot

My post was not very clear.

I would like people/editors to be able to put links they have found into a simple access database.

Then I would import them into links.

Well...all you have to do is have "people" export their databases in TAB DELIMITED format and then edit the delimiter field via editor.cgi or MySQLMan to IMPORT the files into your tables.

HOWEVER, I would not allow anyone than the Administrator to IMPORT files into the Validate table...it would be problematic to allow multiple "admins" to administrate the tables. In terms of quality assurance, I would have people send you their EXPORTED files from Access.

Good luck!
