Is there a way to bulk upload and replace existing files? We have hundreds of files in DMX that now (unexpectedly!)need to be updated. Thanks!

Thanks Peter! It took me a while to realize that actions are available in the "Selection" menu which are not accessible by right clicking on the selection. Consequently, I was not aware of the ability to delete large numbers of items simultaneously. Now that I know that, it's a pretty straight-forward process to delete blocks of files and then upload their replacements. This will work for us just fine. I appreciate your product and your help!

In case anyone can benefit from my continuing learning experience (!), I will share that I just advanced another level :-). I followed the helpful instructions for WebDAV and successfully mapped a drive to our remotely hosted DMX instance. That allowed me to write a VBA script to simply identify by name the files we needed to update, then delete them, and then replace them with the new files. Now I'm REALLY happy! Thanks again for this great product Peter!

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
