Can't read userid written to db by another script
I'm trying to use DBman to read a database written by Links. DBman users only have "view" permission. Problem is, users can't view their own records. Looking at the text database itself, everything looks fine. If I go to DBman admin I can read everything fine too, including any individual user's records.

If I change user permissions to allow users to add records directly through DBman, that works, but all other records not added through DBman are still unreadable, even though the userid's are exactly the same. This includes records added with a text editor straight to the db file itself.

It seems that DBman will only allow users to view their own records actually added through DBman. I can't understand how this is possible, since the db is only a text file. I must be missing something basic here.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff
