It's a always a bad idea to write directly to sharepoint's database. If you have a external consultant who turns up on site and starts moving the database server, your changes will probably not be moved to the new server. These types of issues are very hard to solve. Cheers, Matt

Not my recommendation though.. I had a scenario where i had to bypass complete Object model and write SQL Query to achieve the result..

Is there a default? I didn't set this site up you see so I'm a little lost. Regards, Paul Online Developer, ICT CEO Sydney From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Having established that most of the MOSS files I want to edit only exist in the database, I am now making my first foray into this dark world with VS2005. So, my silliest question yet (#3847) is: how do I connect/browse the site structure? Please be gentle.
