I've never actually used Catobase in the HTML format, but I have used the info from the database to generate reports I created in ASP.net . . . I guess I figured that is how it was set up.

Basically it is a front end to do the following:

From the import button
1. Run CommishJoes exporters
2. Populate the data into the CATOBASE

From the create html button
3. Calculate winshares, leaderboards
4. Output all the html documents and rebuild indices and links.


The first part does not take to long to run and is suitable for people with database experience to get the data from the catobase - but this same data can just be pulled from the exporter files (I used this before CATOBASE came to be and actually put the data into my own MDB files). The second part is what is time consuming....creates thousands of pages and most are not viewed by the average user....
