Maybe it's me ... (as a 'math guy' maybe I just have more trouble counting
than 'normal' folks) ...
:-)
Hmmm .... I just put up a "simple" intranet site ... the users have one
search form they can go to ..
{So I have one page.}
The search form posts to an asp file ...
{So I have two files - but really only one "page" the user has seen so far.}
The search results (dynamically) post to a new page ...
{So I have two stored files - but maybe 3 "pages" (form, asp engine,
results) - or maybe 2 "pages" (form, results) ... OR ... maybe well over
75,000 "pages" - cuz there are at least that many 'possible' different
dynamic 'pages' that could be returned - based on the user entered search
criteria..... and with multiple users ...... Hmmmm ...}
How many 'pages' is that again?

<tip subject="database maintenance" author="Ron L">
While you are in the process of building that fancy new database-driven site
that is going to set "the world"/"your world" on it's ear, make darn sure
you take time to document ALL the steps and procedures necessary to update
that database - including formats and field types. The time spent now will
save you a lot of time in the future. {Wish I had remembered this
one!}</tip>
