Just my 2 cents. perferred method: create a Price Update form. they can access via their browser, verify the data and click ok. the script then takes the data and stores it in a database. when the main price page is accessed that script gets the data from the database and displays it properly. It really really is NOT as hard as it might seem. If you need further help ask. Lite... rather than a txt/doc file (which is very prone to creator errors) perhaps use an excel template in which they enter the data

As a start, you might look into CMS Content Management Systems. It might be easier for you if you state your ultimate objective, then list the steps necessary to reach that objective.

Hmmmm, ok here comes hammer-man again. 1. each entry is placed in its own file. the name of the file is the timestamp of when the file is created. 2. place the timestamp/filename into an "index" file 3. when accessing simply place the index file into an array and sort the array(even with 100's of entries still rather quick) 4. use an array function to "grab' the 10/20/30/ target timestamps and display them ??? wadda ya think?
