help!
I wanted to setup an online database, in which a user can signup online, then a password will be sent to him/her automatically.

I understand that I have an option to use the following steps for easier configuration:
- Setup dbman
- Use jpDeni's dbMAN Configurator
- Configure jpDeni's Secure Lookup

Problem is, I wanted to allow viewing of all records to registered and non-registered users except for selected fields only. So if a user entered fields informations "A","B","C","D" ... is it possible that I can only display "C" and "D" to the public?

Is there a prewritten add-on like this for dbman?

Sorry I am not CGI programmer so I only rely on pre-written scripts and online help.

Hello pinoy7, yes, you would be able to limit the data available to default (non-registered) users.

thanks Karen,
What I really wanted to do is limit the data available for viewing for both registered and non-registered users and some fields would be for admin view only. Is this possible? :)

Hi pinoy, try visiting LoisC's DBMan FAQ's site and select Fields from the navigation links on the let of the page. Then, scroll down the page to the topic of Conditional Displays: There are a large number of examples listed there for creating if statements based on certain conditions.
