I would think you could write an external page with a form and submit that info into a table you create. Each field in the form would have it's own column. I do wonder what the page does when you get, say, 20 sites listed. Does it go to another page or are they all listed on the one page?

ohh I was waiting for your reply sir.. !!

glad to know you liked it ..

oh yes.. it goes to another page right after certain number of entries (currently set to 20) and a recordset navigation bar appears.

I have already created a table called [prefix]linkdir with 1 column for each field. I also created a custom vB powered page called links.php that fetches a template.

Actually, for the first time I am playing with vB's database. I am not able to understand how to insert data programmatically through links.php on submission of the form that I created through the template.

I wish if there could be a simple working copy/paste example with inserting/updating/retreiving/deleting codes that I can play with. I really want that on my vB site.

thank you
