Topic: Changing username ?? Posted: 19 February 2003 at 10:22pm |
Does anyone know if/how a member of a webwiz forum can change their username, but still keep their start date and post count,etc. ? I am admin for a forum and one of the members requested this and would rather not start from scratch. Thanks in advance.

The only way this is possible is to directly edit the database in Access or SQL server Enterprise manager, dependin which version you are running.

Hi, in the Access db, there are 2 fields Username and User_code. Do I need to modify both fields if I am changing the Username for my users? Thanks in advance.

No, all you should have to do is edit the actual user name. You want the user ID number to stay as it is since it is most likely the primary key. Altering the Primary key will most likely not be allowed by Access, nor would it really be a smart idea.

The User_Code is not the primary key, the primary key is the AuthorID. The user_code is used is stored in the coookie for login purposesm, so it would need to be unique as well.

Hello, I just loaded my Office Pro, I have never used Office or Access before. Can someone tell me how to open my database into Access, and modify it then reupload it again?!
I have a couple member names I would like to edit (possibly ~ if it's easy enough) but don't want to get myself in a mess of work here.
thanks so much!
