New database #importingdata


Southenders Admin
 

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there an easy way to create a database from an existing file that is no longer available? I thought I had created a members database by just copy and pasting my old Yahoo group's member list. Now it seems I have to create the database columns with labels before I create the list.

Also, I have a photo album with photos of each of our members. Is there a way to link a field in the database to that individual's photo?

I think that's correct...the header line of the CSV file has to correspond with the table columns that already exist in the database. If there's some other way I'm eager to know how it's done.

Each photo in your group has a URL of the form:

/g/GROUPNAME/photo/ALBUMNUMBER/PHOTONUMBER?(starting at 0)

So you should be able to link photos into the database in that manner as long as you don't subsequently move them around. Try it with a few photos and let us know how it works.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks.
I am giving a talk in front of 80 group members Thursday morning. I don't need to start something new right now.
Most want less emails from my group.
Whenever someone replies to a calendar event, all members get the reply. Events did that in Yahoo too, but they seem to want to bury me for this.
I've had to write a PDF on how to mute a topic.

May not make it back here.
