Hi I am creating a system for my disseratation where a user logs in to a system
using dreamweaver i have done this using server behaviour>user
authentication>log in user on the server behaviour tab in the applications
window.
How do i get this to allow users to edit their rown records which are saved on
the same database (same table) which stores their log in details please help a
very distressed student

When you use the Login behaviour a Session is created, MM_Username, you can use
this to filter your records if each visitors record contains the Username.

You would set a recordset on the page for editing to filter on Session
MM_Username.

You said you had already started to use to the Login behaviour..?

You just need to create a recordset on a page following your login page to
filter by Session MM_Username, that way whatever the Username the visitor logs
in as will filter the recordset and enable you to show their details, and if
you want provide an Edit form.

opnes enterred on the test bit but how do i get the records to be shown on the
personal profile page

when i do this shouldnt something come up on the personal profile page where
records can be editted. if not how will it be possible for users to edit ther
records. when i tried this nothng happened could you please explain it further
in a bit more detail

If the latter is more difficult then ill disregard it so along as a person can
see their personalprofile when they log in

ok so when im in my personal profiel page i create a new recordset i call it
whatever recordset1 the connections is the connection which has already been
established with the system, then i select what columns the user can change
i.e. everyhting apart from user id then i come to the filter stage in the first
combo box i have all the fields in my table i'm guessing i select username from
that then i have another one with = etc <> etc.etc. so i selected = then as you
said the variable there are so many to choose from i have chosen application
vriable and tried it with all of the others too. then there is an empty box
into this i have typed MM_Username i have typed in nothing for sort, but
nothing comes up on the personal profile page shouldnt a list of text and
textfields come up??

[CarlGrint]

You need to select the field which contains your Username, then = then Session
then enter MM_Username

I have another problem which is similar to this but a little different i need
to have a page where users can click to see a list of users which are relevant
to that area for example if i click on a computer science builing i am taken to
the computer science page where there is a list of people who put in computer
science as their building when registering to the databse. I have created
another recordset filtering to only show users that have signed up to computer
science which works fine, however i am having some problems with the master
detail page set with this the master page acknowledges the existence of people
with a computer science field however the detailed pageset however when i click
on their name to go forward it says there are none. i get the same error
message as before

ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested
operation requires a current record.
