Hmmm. We have set our system in almost a Yahoo type of way. Where a user has to register in order to enter the discussion forum, place reviews, order products, etc. Each time a user registers, they receive an email address.
As such, we use the ODBC connectors via IMail as a base for our user base that we can query and add informtion to. If we were to convert this user base (3000 plus accounts) to the Registry for faster performance, is there still a way to allow web-based subscription access. And could we query the list for other information? Thanks. b ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Sanford Whiteman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2002 00:52:19 -0500 >> Everyone... > >Really?
