Hi Larry great book. Hey everyone! This is my first time being stuck in the book. I've worked my way out from everything else. But now for the life of me I can't figure this out. I've stepped away from the computer overnight only to return the next day and be stuck once again. I keep on getting a "This page No valid ID, has been accessed in error" when I try to edit a users first or last name. I have replaced my code with Larry's code downloaded from the books/His website and Larry's code works fine. I have examined line by line, side by side Larry's code vs my code. I'm stuck. Any suggestions why My copied code no worky? Thank You... everyone..
