I have built a site and an admin section that allows me to set pages to an 'offline' state where as the Access DB cannot then be viewed.

At the moment I am using a db with a list of databases and the status of each and on the pages that use these databases I then use a recordset to strip the data out.

Would it be more efficient to use a text file to read from rather than a recordset being setup?

How much of a drain are multiple recordsets on a page?

Are there any good pages with information on this?

Thanks

well, I can't say that I understand exactly what you're trying to do (maybe it's because it's late)

I personally try to avoid trying to go above 4 or 5 recordsets on a page... if it gets past that, I try to see how I can break the functionality into several pages instead of one. but your best bet will be to test test test, try both methods and see which one goes best.
