hi,
what changes need to be made to make the username longer, I've changed the input fields from 15 to 30
and changed this:-
If strMode = "new" Then strUsername = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("name"), 1, 15))
to this:-
If strMode = "new" Then strUsername = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("name"), 1, 30))
Any help would be really appreciated,
Thanks

I also needed to do this... all I had done however was change the field size in SQLServer, but it was still clipped. It appears that perhaps together we figured out the answer. You have to increase the field size in SQLServer and ALSO update the code as you did below to allow the large name field size. PS: what file is that in and code line number to make it quicker for me to find and update?

I think you might have to change the javascript validation routine as well.
