how do multiple users update a web page?

[Guest]

My client wants a web page that would be dynamically updateable by several
people other than the webmaster. This page will be password protected. How
do I create that capability in FP2003?

Uhm. Well. It's not a good idea to do that with FP.

But, if it were my project, here's what I would do.

Make page with an ASP file extension. Fill it with ASP virtual includes to
html or text files stored in a separate folder. Print out a sheet and label
each area.

Use the FP upload component to set up ability to upload to that folder for
the users. (Probably should password protect it.)

Let the users update the text, and upload the pages via a browser. The
server will assemble the page on the fly.

But, seriously, if you have three users sitting around updating a page
simultaniously, you have an update process problem, not a technical problem.

You could simply retrieve the variable web page contents / data from a
database table, each user would then update their records with a database
table rather than the web page itself.

Hi
Do a search for CMS (content management system) these usually use a
database to store the page content. if you can run php on your server there
is one which updates the pages without a database
