Hi David
The outline that you give - of distributed data - is a great one. I have
been thinking along the same lines for quite a while. However, the medium
that I would use would be one more specifically designed for the task - a
Mysql database, the program written in PHP and Apache acting as the
go-between.
Over Christmas, I have promised myself to design the tables for the
database. Because I don't really understand all of the interactivity of the
various relationships yet, that the biggest hurdle. Once I've come to terms
with that, then we're away.
Regards
Martin Cameron
