I think what you want is to not have to copy the redundant information from the database into User Folders. What you can do there is use the UserDb Product to make UserDb folders, which act like User Folders except they authenticate off of an SQL database. Note that this is in Prereleases because
we haven't documented it yet. Other than that it is stable.

I can't get that URL to work. Or more precisely, I can download the file but WinZip complains that the archive is invalid.
Make sure you rename the file to: UserDb-1.1.0-all.tar.gz Before using Winzip on it. Netscape mangles filenames that contain multiple '.' characters. I just downloaded and extracted it fine after fixing the name. Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
