Spectra UserProfiles are somewhat useful within Spectra. However we need to
integrate the user data with our company's Access database from which mail
brochures, etc.

We don't want duplicate data anywhere, so when a user registers on the web
we don't want to just plunk the data into Access.

My plan is to create a "translation" table in SQL Server with one row for
each userprofile. I'll attach a dateUpdated field to it.

Whenever I do a cfa_userprofile I'll subsequently call a custom tag that
updates this table with the data from the UserProfile.

On the Access side I'll create some forms that allow a data entry person to
see new and updated records in the "translation" table, and selectively add
or update the Access table.

To reverse the flow of updates I'd have to cfschedule a query of this table
to look for updates from Access and stick them into UserProfiles.

Any better ideas? What are others doing to make userprofiles useful outside
Spectra?

Thanks,

Derek W
