Are you pointing back into the users folder in the admin directory, or is your module path outside of admin? ===> ??? I'm not sure what you mean. The only path shown when selecting the PlumUserEditForm.cfm from the folder tree in the IDE is in Pages that link to this page: /admin/PlumUser/PlumUserList.cfm One thing I would recommend: You might want to get into the habit of eliminating spaces in folder names and templates, because the web doesn't like spaces in links, and if you don't URLEncode() all your links, you are bound to run into problems down the road. ===> I agree with that habit and follow it. If I use a "space" in a filename I use the _ , for example: BCC_qry_GetQuote.cfm All of my folder names are single words, no underscores. > > > My new field PlumUser.ParentUserID shows in the "Controls not on this > form" box.

The ParentUserID does NOT appear on the Edit form. > Did you open the template in your code editor to confirm the generated template has the ParentUserID in it? ===> Yes. In /admin/PlumUser/PlumUserEditForm.cfm this line appears in the file: <cf_DisplayTextInput column="ParentUserID" label="Parent User ID" type="integer" required="No" size="10"> > > > I then select Database and select Plum Users, get a list of users and > select my user to Edit, AND THERE IT IS, ParentUserID is showing on this > form-which appears to be the same PlumUserEditFrom, but contains the > filed, when if I select Users and Edit it does not show. Check your module path and make sure it is pointing to where you think it is. If your Plum User module is not pointing at the admin/users directory. Look at the path in the status bar when you move your mouse over the link in the Database navbar and confirm whether it is pointing to admin/users. It sounds like you may have your module outside of admin. ===> Ahh, here's a clue, the path from the Edit link from Admin/Database/PlumUser/Edit is: http://localhost:8500/dev.buyerscreditcoach.com/admin/PlumUser/PlumUserEditF orm.cfm?UserID=10 and the path from Admin/Users/Edit is: http://localhost:8500/dev.buyerscreditcoach.com/admin/users/PlumUserEditForm .cfm?UserID=11 One is looking to the PlumUser folder, the other is looking to the users folder. ??? Where did this "users" folder come from? Vs. the PlumUser folder? I don't recall creating it. But I guess I could have. So question: why do I have two folders: PlumUser and users. The users folder has "a full set" of Plum files just like the PlumUser folder, but actually has a few more. This is the spot to fix, I need to understand what's going on here. Any ideas? I like to open a newly generated template in my Homesite or (whatever you use) to look at the code and confirm I got what I expected. This also helps to confirm it was generated where you expect it to be. v/r, Jeff > > > > Dan Kaufman > > > > > > > > //An Elephant Never Forgets// > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > ********************************************************************** You can subscribe to and unsubscribe from lists, and you can change your subscriptions between normal and digest modes here: http://www.productivityenhancement.com/support/DiscussionListsForm.cfm ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** You can subscribe to and unsubscribe from lists, and you can change your subscriptions between normal and digest modes here: http://www.productivityenhancement.com/support/DiscussionListsForm.cfm **********************************************************************
