How Links Works....

The text of the links is stored in two Access database tables mounted on your web server. The first table contains the Section descriptions and the second table has the specifics about the Links themselves.

Once the sections are defined most of your work will be maintaining links. Each link is associated with the section using the section ID number. Both links and sections can be quickly disabled by switching the "Displayed:" setting to "No".   Both links and section are ordered independently by you using a number.  Sections additionally have a column section.

Once you get your sections setup any changes in sections except for descriptions will have to be ,manually updated in the links. This is especially true if you delete a section record. 

Each section also has an image associated with it that is uploaded based upon the section number. For example LinkSection1.jpg is the image for Section 1. Section images should be no larger than 14 pixels high.

The web site expects and requires that internal record numbers for both links and sections are sequentially numbered. Both the "Add New Section" and "Add new Link" display the last highest number. You simple add one to this number. 

Finally, the link record has a "section order" field in the link record which the user is require to update to match the link section.
