Hi

I am using CS4, ASP, and MS Access database. I have created a member log-in and it is working correctly.  Now I would like the member to be taken to a page that displays his profile and allows him to change the information, address, password, etc.  How can I use the ‘username’ field from the ‘log-in’ page as the link in the ‘update profile’ page using the form action property, this field is already used for the log-in, i am using the 'Missing Manual' tutorial and this process is not explained.

You could either store it as a session variable or pass it in the querystring.

Sorry i don't understand, the tutorial tells me to link the field using 'Action property'  The Action field already has this information in it <%=MM_LoginAction%>

How do i use the Action Property for two functions, one for the log-in (as shown above) and also for the Update profile link.

OK, if you are passing the user name value in a form, then just  put that value in a hidden field.  When the form is submitted, the user name value will be passed to the script.
