Digital Workshop

I have designed an interactive teaching aid for Hungarians learning english. One of the modules is a set of Flash Cards.


I currently have 10 students using this system.

I update the CD program every week with new modules and also additional Flash Cards, the end user can also add his own flash cards to the MS Access database. Which is fine but when I give him a new CD the following week his own flash cards will be written over. In addition to this I would like to to be able to pool all users flash cards and append them to my central one for inclusion in the next updated CD.

Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to learn php?

Opus Pro 6.01 - Imac (running XP Pro SP2)

There are loads of ways of doing this. Here's a few.

1. Have a two databases with your program and store the users flash cards in the DB that is not updated. You can then either have Opus read from both or more practically, write a query in the main DB that reads the contents of the user's DB and creates a combine list of both.

2. Publish the updated list as a flat database and have Opus connect to the web (or sent it via email) and have you Opus application workout which terms need adding, updating or deleting.

3. Have an online database that Opus connects to and reads the flash cards from with two way updating so users get the latest and you get their cards.

Just a few options.

Mack,

would this mean I would have to learn php and sql if I wanted to do option 3, which sounds ideal?
