AMS File Extensions

[JMS3]

How do you tell what files correspond with what pages you create in AMS.

I have DAL, DAH, DAV & DAW extensions and page names such as Sample1, Sample2, Sample3
etc...

I need to create updates to an already installed program on users PC and only want to create an install for the updated pages created in AMS.

Is there a way to tell what extension is associated with a specific page?

Re: AMS File Extensions

Are you talking about the .AMS extension on the project or on the 'build'. I like to keep my builds in different folders -
c:/output/this
c:/output/that

etc. Don't know if this is what you are asking...

What I have is a menu with 10 samples on it. When user clicks on any of these objects he is taken to a details page for that object.

Now I want create an installer to add items 11-15 to the menu along with correseonding detail pages.

This means that user will have to install new main menu showing items 1-15 and the details pages for items 11-15.

I can't seem to be able to determine the file names that AMS is naming these pages so I can include only the updated stuff in the installer to keep size down.

I don't think AMS was intended to be used as an data base and from what I see by looking at menus I have made, I don't know how you would even go about merging two menus. Good luck, and if you get it figured out it would be interesting to hear how you did it.
I think I would opt for producing the entire menu and telling the end user to discard any previous versions. Less chances for things to get screwed up as well. Good Luck.
