in reply to Creating files on a server

I'm not sure I understand your description of the problem entirely, but if I do, I would set up a (e.g.) MySQL DB on the server to hold each user's info, which can include collections of accession numbers. Users would need to set up accounts, etc.

    Sure that sounds like another good idea.
    I had contemplated that but im in a bit of a pickle with what to do next.

    I have no real functional description at this point so im not sure where to go next.

    The DB idea i think would be the way forward, although i then have to think of table structure, relationships and data validation.

    How easy is it to allow users to set up accounts in a MySQL DB?

    MonlPaul.
