We use two tables but not as described, we have a table that just has content in it and one table of control data. Every time the content for a page is saved in the editor the entire content is saved in the content table so there are umpteen versions of the content. Flags in the control table indicate which version is the live version and which is the currently being edited one so going live with new content is just a matter of flipping flags. -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
