Hello again,

No not at all, but if I include the variable $db_userid in the path when a default user logs in the path becomes:

$path/$Agency?/$Town/default/$Category.. etc
which is not valid.

I have therefore removed $db_userid so that the path now is:

$path/$Agency/$Town/$Category/Image...

This works Ok as default users should be able to view ALL records. The users with password access are for edit purposes only. This means that Estate Agents can manage their own listings(records). Default users can view or search for listings in any town Category, price range within all the Estate Agent listings. I have it all working except for the image deletes.

Hope this helps. Thanks for the continued assistance.
Greg
