I am looking at building a CD based catalogue app that stores description,price image reference etc. locally in a database. It will then compare the file creation date to a set update period and prompt the user to update via the internet or failing that a floppy. I thought to use something like getNetText to draw down a comma delimited file and import into the database via an Xtra (looking at V12) This way the client can generate the text files when they make changes. Can anyone who has done something similiar point me in the right direction on this. Is an Xtra the answer or would generating lists be better There's about 30000 items, needs to be searchable by multiple query and the price should be the only thing to alter. Can you just update a single field within many tables?? Seems a waste to update fields that are static. Thanks for any help. I have to quote on this and I'm tearing my hair out.
