I like the new idea; seems like you would get more qry_ reuse etc. Here is one consideration though,
Sometimes in a production environment you don't want your backoffice folks messing with the site while people are viewing the public website. This means that, with growth, you might want to completely seperate the administration application from the Public application. In my experience each application can and should be able to become completely seperate. Just something to think about...depends on your client's needs really. - BILL - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathryn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 7:42 AM Subject: Question on directory structure > OK, here is my latest project.
