In my environment (university Computing Science department) the customers would be users, and, I imagine, they would (I know I would) rather log in using their short user id rather than their long-winded email address. I've looked at CustomerCreateAccount.dtl in an attempt to create a login page that separates Login from Email. I noticed that there was a "Login" section that had been commented out. I reinstated it, changing value="$Data{"UserEmail"}" to value="$Data{"UserLogin"}". Given this section of code in customer.pl if (!$GetParams{UserLogin}) { $GetParams{UserLogin} = $GetParams{UserEmail}; } I expected it to work. But it didn't. Customer accounts are still created with the email address being used for the login. Can it easily be made to work, or was the section in CustomerCreateAccount.dtl commented out for a good reason? Jim
