User to update profile after logging in

[Deansie]

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.

Sorry, but i am still having trouble understanding what you mean, i created the whole web site using the designer features in Dreamweaver, i am not familiar with HTML

Can you tell me how to do it using the designer features?

Thanks

Sorry, I don't use server behaviors enough to tell you anything specific about how work with them. You will need to read about the Update Record server behavior.

Using DW without understanding HTML and CSS is going to be a struggle. How familiar are you with ASP, VBScript and SQL?
