I need to do 2 seemingly simple things, but I have no idea how to do them. They are:

I need to change the name of the "bio" field (I only need to change what is seen in the web browser--I do not want/need to change the field name in the d'base).
Once the name is changed, I need to show that is a "required" field (i.e., I need to add the red asterisk). (Again, I only need for this change to show in the web browser.)

I do not as a general rule write code of any kind (not even HTML, because I use FrontPage).

If someone would be so kind as to give me step-by-step instructions on how to do this, I would be extremely appreciative.

Thank you so much!

Sheryl

The registration form is contained in inc_profile - Do a search for "Bio:" (or whatever the text is), and modify it the way you want.

Then do a search for "mandatory field" or "required field" and that will inform you how to make it a required field.

All of this is WAY over my head. Is there anyone who can customize the necessary files for me?

Thanks!

Open the file inc_profile.asp using Notepad on your computer.
Change the following line (approximately line 430) in that file to rename the field Bio.

" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ valign=""top"" align=""right"" nowrap width=""10%""><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>Bio: </font></b></td>" & vbNewLine & _

You will change Bio: that appears before the to whatever it is that you want it to say.

To make the field mandatory add the following line of code to register.asp (at approximately line 277) after opening it in Notepad also.

if Request.Form("Bio") = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You enter blah blah blah</li>"
end if

Of course you would change the err message to whatever it is that you are calling bio.
