I have added another field at login that I would like to use as the Identifier of the record.
The field is 'alpha' and not sequential.

What I would like to happen is this.
Guest logs in with :
passwd
name
additional field

Guest goes directly to the display of that record determined by additional field.Not home_page.

At login Author goes to home_page.
I have added the additional field to .pass by author at login.

How do I associate it with the database record?
Also it must be unique, so author login must display record if information is present.
And if no record is found guest is directed to failure page,probably the view_search page.
?

I'd need more of an explanation of what you're doing. If the added field is unique and is associated with the userid, then the userid would be unique as well, wouldn't it?
