inside UserListIn.add u put the validation code which will loop through the database and see whether id has been taken by some one or not if id is found it should give error msg
you can also raise exception in that case

Mainly I don't know if I have to do a loop and how to code it. I am confused.
Can you help me DangerDev pls?
Thanks.
