texte = I posted a related message about this last week. The single answer I got did not quench my thirst for a better solution.I have enabled several store fronts with the WebCatalog acgi. I now want to figure out an easy means of updating the various catalog.txt database files. Most clients will be maintaining these in locally operated database files and exporting updates to me. I will then use Timbuktu to place them on the server. However, it seems that the only way I can do this is to effectively close and update EVERY database file that WebCatalog has opened via the WebCatalog admin interface. Is there not a better way to close a single database and replace it with a newer version without affecting over a dozen other database files?Also, I seem to recall some discussion that the acgi version was not taking manually entered updates. I remember one client trying to manually update the ads.db and any new items he entered did not show up. Is this a known problem? Is there something special that has to be done in order to get WebCatalog to note that a change to the RAM-based file has been made by a manually entered item? John Benn, PetsForum Group
