Please help - I broke it!
Ugh, it's been TOO long since I used DBMan, I just screwed somethinng up really badly.*(and I'm trying to use my site to get a job!)

It was working fine!

a) I can do a global search and see all records (http://www.puddlemedia.com/main6.html)

BUT, can't search by field now!

ALSO,

b) when I create a new user with add, modify, view auth_ -- none of the Add | View |Modify links show up at the bottom of the box?

I've spent hours on the forum and (jpDeni's site)...

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

I posted my default.cfg here:

TYTYTYTYTYTYT!

In your .cfg file try setting:

$auth_no_authentication = 1;

to:

$auth_no_authentication = 0;

On your external search form you don't have the options defined with the values.

For example you have:

<select name=Neighborhood size="1">
<option>---</option>
<option>Boerum Hill</option>
<option>Brooklyn Heights</option>
<option>Carroll Gardens</option>
<option>Cobble Hill</option>
............ etc.

which should be:

<select name=Neighborhood size="1">
<option>---</option>
<option value="Boerum Hill">Boerum Hill</option>
<option value="Brooklyn Heights">Brooklyn Heights</option>
<option value="Carroll Gardens">Carroll Gardens</option>
<option value="Cobble Hill">Cobble Hill</option>
............ etc.

By looking at your database it becomes very obvious starting with record 3 that your database is corrupted. Open a copy of the database into excel and you may be able to see where things went wrong.

Also you have some major HTML formatting errors within your display for instance:

<tr><td align=left valign=top width=20%><font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica size=2 color=#003399><b>Name:</b></font></td>
<td><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="2"><font color="red" size=+1><B><B>12th Street Bar & Grill</B><B></B></b></font></font></td></tr>
<tr><td align=left valign=top><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="2"><font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica size=2 color=#003399>Address:</font></font></td>
<td><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="2">1123 Eighth Avenue</font></td></tr>

You are opening font tags prior to closing others and the same with your bold tags. I know that's not your current problem but I can see where it could cause problems.
