Add more fields to user database

Add more fields to user database
Hi! Is it possible to add more fields (rather than name, passwords and permissions) to the user database? I'd like to also make people fill out their url and e-mail when they become a registered member. i'm not sure if adding extra fields will mess up the authorization process, or existing records.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

It is possible, however, not recommended. I would suggest creating two databases: 1) Members, 2) Information. The Members database can hold the additional information you want for the users and the Information database can hold the data for your DBMAN project.

Search this forum for "multiple databases", "Member databases". To connect the database files, you can use the Relational Database Tutorial/Mod at the following address:
