But here's my best-guess answer anyway:In Beta 8 (sent yesterday) the database paths are all URL-style, and relative to the template in question. db=xx.db finds it in the same folder as the template, db=../xx.db looks up one folder, and db=/folder1/folder2/xx.db starts from WebStar's folder and looks down from there.In Beta 7 (and all previous) the database paths are all relative to WebCatalog.acgi itself, so db=xx.db looks in the same folder as WebCatalog.acgi, db=::xx.db looks up one folder from WebCatalog.acgiGrant Hulbert, V.P.
