You are welcome! and I'm sorry for being a bit grumpy, my day sucks today :) Btw, I think you really should try that profile provider mentioned, it is better than plain XML file read/write access and it is also integrated into you object model, in your code you can access your Profile properties directly. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.profile.profilebase.aspx[^]
