Building the Database
Hello I would like to know is there a way to build the links database offline instead of just adding one link and category at a time? The reason I ask is because I have a web site that I have been adding links and categories to manually before I found out about Links2. If I can do this offline it would make it alot easier on me. Thanks

Yes....This has been discussed MANY times in this forum and the LINKS Modification Forum. Use Excel or Access to create the "tables" for your databases. Then export the files into tab delimited text files and rename the text file to links.db and categories.db.

Regards.

Thanx for your advice Elliot. I just tried to open my existing db files but it did not work on TAB as the delimiter. Instead I had to use " | " (I think this character is called PIPE). What happens when I export it and save it back?
