Hi Ven,

We use a separate series of PHP scripts to give users ids and passwords and
have them then connect to the same mysql tables that MV uses. We have a
separate database called members that handles their specific info and non
product info and have mv set up to read that one as well.

By the way, if ilcarito is listening, why wouldn't you use sku for your
unique field (mv code) and key-code as a seperate column in your db?
