i had this problem before. Open up the database and look at the tblPermissions table.

Make the field "Moderate" is not checked on any of the groups (or members) that you dont want to moderator the forum.

It is certainly a permisisons problem, if a member has moderator previlliges in any forum or if there user group has moderator permissions then they will beable to change others profiles.

Check your permisisons on all forums and groups very carefully as it would appear you have gevin moderator permisisons to the erong group.

Hello,

Yes, one group had a Moderator permission but it was only for a specific forum not the other forums which are not moderated but the user were allowed to Edit Profiles on any forum they access to!! I think that should not occur and it's a design issue that could cause security problems.

Anyway, great forum and keep the great work.

I bet you ran a database upgrade script that messed up the permissions....

Nope! You lose the bet  I did the upgrade to Access 2002 after the fact, to see if that will help, but it did not.
