Hi Dave-

This is curious:

When I log into CMS Builder as the administrator, there is a record count of 80 and page count of 4...

When I log in as a user (different username/password), there is a record count of 60 and page count of 3...

Any idea what's happening...I checked the 2 underlying tables in phpmyadmin, and the record count in both is 80, and on the website itself, 80 items are displayed...Seems that the user area displays incorrectly the # of records...

Thanks for the help...Rick

Hi.

I think Kate is on the right track here. You can setup your user accounts so they can only view their own records. I suspect this other account you are using was only used to create 60 of your 80 articles.

When you are logged in as an admin, you can change the owner of articles.

Let me know how you make out.

Thanks!

Another approach would be to give your user "Manager" access to that section. Then they'd be able to modify records they didn't create.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dave-

I changed the access rights to Manager for "All Sections" in Admin>User Accounts, and that did the trick...

Thanks to Kate & Ross for their help...Next time I'll spend time researching a question before I take up your time... :-)
