Since 90% of the time (at least for me), the e-mail address is a unique field, I generally use the e-mail address. The only drawback to this is if you have an application that may have 2 users from the same household that have the same e-mail address. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
