Question about Custom Revision mechanisms in Livelink forms.

Robert_Davies_(unlondonadmin_-_(deleted))

Hi.I am reading through the documenation about custom revision and submission mechanisms for Livelink forms. I have an idea about an application that I would like to use Livelink for, and this may provide a route to do it.Am I right in thinking that I could use this to retrieve and store data from an external system, using Livlink as the mediator for access control and management?For example, if I have a form corresponding to a student record, could I query the data from our Student record system and fill the form. The person then gets the form back. If they change the form I can pass the data back to the student record system?I have basically just glanced over the documentation, and in particular the LoadData() and SaveData() methods and this has come to mind. Am I on the right track? Or barking up the wrong tree?Anybody think this is worth persuing?Best regards/matt.

As an alternative, we use buttons in LL forms to call an ASP which performs the read/write to external database.Seems to work quite well. We use it to call and update customer/product records. You might want to investigate this as an option - quick and doesn't require a trip to SDK land.
