Templates

Instead of the results table, Admin can define a block of HTML code to be displayed once for each found record. Special keys are used to insert data in the desired place.
The columnar form displayed when the 'View' button is clicked may also be replaced by a template.
Templates are defined in large comment boxes on the administration screen and stored with the other preferences. There are no external files to keep track of.
Calculations are possible in the templates using JavaScript's document.write() command.

Members

Each member has a unique username and password
Members can add data to the database, and modify or delete only items he/she added.
Members can import delimited text files through their web browsers.
If Admin allows it, visitors can choose their own username and password for instant access to the database, with the ability to modify their entries later.

File Locking.

A locking mechanism insures that no 2 users will write to the file at the same time. This makes the database robust for high volume applications.
