editting Xlates programmatically?

JohnL

We have some functionality that allows admins to edit a subgroup of xlates programmatically (from a link off of the admin page). This works fine in builder, but when when we run it outside of builder we get a variety of errors, everything from 'server did not respond', to no error, but no change either. Furthmore, from that point on subsequent calls to our module's XDB don't execute - we get weblingo pages with w/Xlate constants instead of text. Has anybody tried to do this/seen this/worked around it? I'm wondering if there is a notion of 'locking' of an XDB, and if so, if there is a way to programmatically unlock it when our module is started up. Dawn Lambethdawn@vizdom.com
