Grant,Yes this is exactly what is happening. Now what is the workaround? I need a way for the administrator to delete records without knowing the usr/pass for the record, without having to do a 'hot' [CloseDataBase] and edit the .db file.This would be from a [Protect Admin] page. Is another field to be used for admin? By adding such a field as a 'hidden' in the form, the 'value' with the password could be seen. Thus useless.<--Glenn-->~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glenn & Renee Davis Exclusively Web / Net Highway (916) 887-0678 Web Page Design / Hosting Services POB 157, Cool,CA 95614-0157 http://www.ExclusivelyWeb.com http://www.Net-Hwy.com &&& ||| (@ @) (@ @) ----------------------------ooO---U---Ooo---------------ooO--(_)--Ooo------->> Mailto:renee@Net-Hwy.com Mailto:glenn@Net-Hwy.com Mailto:renee@ExclusivelyWeb.com Mailto:glenn@ExclusivelyWeb.com Graphics Design Webmaster Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:

Grant,Yes this is exactly what is happening. Now what is the workaround? I need a way for the administrator to delete records without knowing the usr/pass for the record, without having to do a 'hot' [closedatabase] and edit the .db file.This would be from a [Protect Admin] page. Is another field to be used for admin? By adding such a field as a 'hidden' in the form, the 'value' with the password could be seen.
