This site involves people paying annually for a service that puts their information into a database. Then anyone can access the database for their information. I don't know if the client's payment system has a subscription feature like paypal or not; if it doesn't can the database be configured with a due date?? And...basically what would be the best practice in setting this up? I have FP 2003 and expression. Any advice is appreciated...thanks, Sharon

I suggest you got take a good look through www.hotscripts.com to see if there's something ready built you can use. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Hotscripts will, udner the ASP or PHP scripts section, have a load available which are likely to suit you more. They are categorised by function so have a good look through. You may even find an easy install script that all you need to do is template out. Usually these things have routines to build the database for you. Some are even free! _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to sventer)
