That thought crossed my mind but I would need to have a user id and
password for every user.

The UserDB seemed the way to go. which is why i was suggesting haveing all
the fields in the userdb on a page, ONCE the user logs into their
accounr or creates a new account, they can edit their profile. the only
downside to this is, the  db file would be read to generate the webpages.

To make it simple I'm attempting to do what profiles.yahoo.com does. like
http://profiles.yahoo.com/loa_ven

when you go there to their site you create an account or login, can edit
your profile and it's updated. I want to do the same thing but on a
smaller scale (maybe 200 users at the max)
