Actually maybe not. The database is only updated once in a while and  
the end-user doesn't write to the database at all. This is a kind of  
front-end to the main system. Once the user had selected the images  
they want, a list of the product codes and quantity is generated and  
in the Web-Based app would then processed by the main system.

I'm not sure in WebMerge would be appropriate or not?

What do you think?
