Multiple 'Users.db' files not possible

texte = Every time I use the string Users.db in a search, WebCat ignores the path to that particular Users.db file. Instead, WebCat *always* opens the Users.db that's in my WebCatalog folder.This suggests that there's only one Users.db allowed on a WebCat site, and that Users.db is always going to be the one located in the main WebCatalog folder.In my testing, it made no difference whether I used a relative path, or an absolute path, or if I made up a completely bogus path. As long as I was referring to Users.db, the results were exactly the same every time ... WebCat finds the Users.db located in the WebCatalog folder, instead of the one I'm specifying with a different path name.I have tested this feature *ONLY* in context-based searches, I have not tested other situations yet ... but I expect similar results.Of course, I would like WebCat to open a different Users.db when I ask it to -- one that's located in a client's web site folder, for example, so I can test his/her site without making a bunch of changes to my own folder hierarchy every time I switch from one client's project to another. But that's apparently not possible ... :(If my guess is correct about the way this WebCat feature works, then we don't have to worry about telling WebCat where the Users.db is located ... because to WebCatalog, there is only one Users.db, and it already knows where to find it ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome ken@iav.com 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/
