[QUOTE="Thyamine, post: 396854, member: 30315"] Well I think you need to break it up into each piece of the project, rather than try and look at it as a whole. For example, here are some of the broad pieces you need to work on separately: 1. Front end for user to enter data into database 2. Front end for administration (by you) 3. Back end processing for catching changes, determining when to generate the CSV file, and then actually creating the file. This could actually be skipped if you want to just make it a manual process (i.e. a button in the admin section) that you do in the administration section. 4. Process that syncs with a PDA. The first two steps are straightforward enough. Build some forms, some error checking, tables, etc. Importing the contacts depends on the mail program you use and what it will accept. Multiple formats may be best, but CSV is pretty common. As for syncing with a PDA, I know nothing about that, except that most will sync with a mail program, although probably not webmail, but I really don't know. [/QUOTE]
