Excellent!  One hint, similar to how IC does it.
ui_data_fields="__UI_YOURTABLENAME_FIELDS__"

That way, you just need to edit a variable to add columns to edit, change
the order they appear in etc.

Once again, an excellent place for a variable. :)


Another useful trick is to restrict access to certain functions.  If you
are doing something out of the ordinary, you can use the if-mm tag.

[if-mm !regen]
[set ui_error]Not authorized to regenerate.[/set]
[bounce page="__UI_BASE__/error"]
[/if-mm]

Unfortunately, I am not sure which table the regen field is checked in,
probably access.  Mike?

Thanks for the tutorial :)
