I have just installed the community version of DNN and it will prove damn near everything I need for the site I am building.  However, I want to display pages that link to another database.  Is there a module that allows me to do this?  Thanks.

If I understand what you're asking there are a number of ways to handle this.  You might look at the forms and Lists module or third party modules such as Xmod, H2O, Indoo Grid and so on.

Your site is best delivered from a single database... but displaying content from other databases is quite common.  There are several modules that provide good examples of this, the Reports module is one of those also.  We do this here as well, by utilizing additional named connection strings the web.config and then enabling modules to specify which named connection string to use as part of its configuration.

Thanks.  I'll check out the reports module.  Love the app so far.
