I am about to start creating a WO application that will mainly be used internally, but will let external people update their own details.

To do this, a url would be emailed out to the people in question, and clicking on the link will take them to their details.

I expect that direct actions will play a main role here, but my problems is creating the url string that is unique for each person, difficult to guess a valid one, and reversible.

I have had a look at hashCode(), but I would need to combine several to increase the length (and hence number of possible values) and it would need to be reversible in order to take the string and turn it back into the record.

On that point, I suppose it is just a case of storing the hashed code in the user record and basing the object fetch on that.

So now that I think I've figured it out, can someone suggest a better way that I'm overlooking and may already be available?

Ray.
