Hi Piotr, Sorry my reply wasn't exact either. I should read you email more closely - sorry. Looks like you may need a web scripting language like php, coldfuison, perl etc, etc. This way you can build a database and user GUI admin. It's alot more involved than setting directives though. Hope this helps Rudi.
