Hello all,

Am working on a website that needs 5 forums, one for every city� but shares the all the members. Any suggestions on doing this.

I was thinking of creating a common.mdb with tblAuthor, tblBanlist, tblbuddylist, tblconfiguration, tblDateTimeFormat, tblGroup, tblGuestname, tblPermission, tblPMMessage, tblSmut and a city1.mdb with tblCategory, tblEmailNotify, tblForum, tblPoll, tblPollChoice, tblThread, tblTopic.

And repeat the same for city2, city3, city4, city5.

I'd recommend using SQL Server for that and make use of table prefixes thus keep the same for the author table, doing this in jet will cause lots of code changes.

I think it would be easier to just use the same database and create forum categories then add other forums as sub forums.

Then use an IIS URL Rewrite mod to change the URLs so it looks like different forums but its actually the same forum and database.

Thanks Maddog,

City1
    Sub1
       Sub1.1
       Sub1.2
     Sub2
       Sub1.1
       Sub1.2
Then do the same with city2, 3 and so on...

Now can you explain the IIS rewrite mod
