These are sales/order tracking/forecasting reports. The reports are HTML tables and are easier to handle on the file system. They are kept for snapshot/historic purposes. (Mostly to have the "evidence" when the sales person changes his story to his manager.) The reports that really matters are dynamically generated.

Since Jim was indicating that the reports went out with a link to the saved file, that would seem to indicate that he wants to allow his customers to have access to previous reports. A database solution seems more useful, IMHO of course!
But file system is (one kind of a) database ;)
So is my waste basket! Peripheral to this is my dislike of companies that insist on sending me price lists in Excel format because to them Excel spreadsheets are a database :-( - -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.com/dynamo - The Homebuilt Dynamo http://www.compkarori.com/dbase - The dBase bulletin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 iQA/AwUBORvFR7TRdIWzaLpMEQIdSgCeJTJEMkQAKaodUwaJmOv5DwXubGIAni7Q Qh9hMPXUxKq/v0KVnu0JntpD =fk4o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
