Thanks Amy,
I'm the only one who has access to the current directory, so I add all new listings and make changes to current ones as required. So I have one central password that give me access to all records.
I will be adding new members and I was thinking it's probably best and easiest for me to create each new listings and then give members access to make any changes to their own listing. There less than 50 records right now, so it wouldn't be too hard to add a field to the current database table if that's necessary.
So instead of adding a custom field to the vB profile, what if I added the vB username or id to the current contact table when I create a new record?
I only add listings for members who have purchased a paid subscription, so ideally I'd like to have the listings visible in the directory based on the member's usergroup. So if they don't renew their subscription their listing is dropped from the directory. But maybe that's asking too much right now
Thanks again,
Andrew
