Hi,
Okay, here's the deal. I've created a project which requires user registration. Now, the registration part works like a dream. However, when I tried implementing an option where the user can update his details, the update isn't working. It says I have an error in my update statement. I'm posting the code here. For the first recordset, when I comment out the line which actually carries out the command, the asp works perfectly. However, when I try to uncomment it and run the asp, I get an error :Error in UPDATE query". I've checked the asp and it's fine. Can anyone help me out please?
