Hello, I'm new to CF and have been looking for a tutorial on writing the code that would allow people to create a user profile and for the user name to be checked against a database to make sure it is original. I've searched the site, but haven't been able to find one, any tips?

Thanks, Joseph

    That is a pretty big request for a simple tutorial.

    Quesiton one basicly boils down to a series of database table(s) that store user information and a user inteface for form(s) that allow the user to enter|edit the data for these tables.  How simple or complex this all is depends on how much and how sophisticated the user data you are going to use in a profile is.

    Question two is pretty simple.

    1) New user enters a username.

    2) A select is done against the database table the contains user names for that string.

    3) If a record is returned, the name is already used, reject request by new user; else user name is unique allow user to utilze it.
