Hi. I am testing adding new records to my database and the string "admin" appeared instead of the person's name I entered. Modifying the record fixes the error.

What might cause this?

Thanks,

Kim,

The problem could be your $auth_user_field variable. Make sure that you set it to the Userid or User field in your %db_def array.

Hope this helps.

I can guarantee that the problem is the $auth_user_field variable.

If you are going to allow registered users to add records and you want them to be able to either view or delete/modify their own records, you need to have a userid field in your field definitions and you need to set the $auth_user_field to the number of that field.

If you do not want the above, you must set

$auth_user_field = -1;
