Noticed now that when a user signs up with alt tags in front of there name when you go to make the user inactive it gives you this error

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e21'

The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.

/wprules/forum/register.asp, line 776

username: mailto:=MAD=@Microsoft - =MAD=@Microsoft

Is there any way to fix this problem?

Increase the size of the User_code field in the same table.

Worked Great thats what it was To Many Characters

Im trying to filter out these characters any suggestion

("@""!""#""%""^""&""*""("")""+""=""<"">""?""/""\",0)

on the register.asp for username i want to validate with a message

saying these charecters are not allowed ect.

I noticed its validating the length to 4 but I want these filtered out as well

You could use JavaScript in the part of the register page that checks the form before submitting and get it to display a javascript message if the username contains these characters.
