Thnaks for your reply JW

I wasnt using your code but i do have it.  Thanks and i will have a look at it to see if i can suss out the email feature.  One step at a time at first.

My first task is to customise the user registration system so i can take more details from them.  Once done i will see if i can get it to send an email of confirmation.  i hope to have a confirmation link in the email.

Strange, but im having a little difficulty understanding the PWS way of controling users and roles ect.  I have all that i have mentioned in classic ASP many times.

Thanks i will have a look at your code
