Hi! I'd like to use the Org chart wizard to take data from a database,
generate an org chart, then allow the user to make changes, and sync the
changes back to the database. Is that possible? If so, can you give me a
rough idea of what it would take to make this happen, or point me in the
right direction?

Thanks much!
Rick

The Org Chart solution includes th Export Organization Data tool. This
outputs to Excel, csv or txt.
You could then write routines to update your database from any of these
files.

Alternatively, you would have to write your own code that walks the
connections of the Org Chart.
One approach would be to use document level SolutionXML to to capture the
original state, and then you can compare the current state with the original
so you only have to update the database with the differences.
