I was thinking along the same lines Bill. Maybe if it needs to be more dynamic then combine this idea with a trigger or similar event on the table(s) in question that would regenerate the static page. From the OP’s original request it sounds as if anything else is overkill.

Just because we _can_ do fancy things is not a good reason to do them - particularly when it adds complexity.

I was once asked to design a database application for which the optimal solution was to buy the user a dozen file cards. Reading the posts makes me wonder whether we are grossly overdesigning Joe's application.

I have a web site that uses AJAX calls for information that can change by the second. For another, I used server-side calls to dynamically add the same header and footer information to the 300+ pages making up the site. While this worked great, I realized this was overkill for pages that might change only once a month. I now store all pages in XML format and run a job once a month or as needed to recreates the web site using an XSLT transform.

Would this problem be solved by running a daily job that simply recreates the index file?

KISS,

Bill
