Any suggestions?Yes, you can put the expiration date into a field in the database, and then put a [delete] tag into a template that searches for all records older than today's date. This delete tag could be on any page you serve up, but if you have 10,000 records you may want to make it a URL that is rarely hit, such as some kind of admin page that only you link to once a day. Or you can get fancy and put some WebDNA around the command so it 'knows' only to perform the deletion once per day.Something like [delete db=classifieds.db<ExpireDatedata=[date]&ExpireDatetype=date]>I have also been working with the General Store example. When trying to >change the 'Banner Ads', the change never gets made. Was this a flaw in >the WEB DNA?Oops. I think that one slipped through. Someone mentioned it a while back, and I may not have fixed it yet.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
