Collecting info is easy - you could use Mailchimp, Formstack, Wufoo, etc. The problem comes when you want self-service editing. How do you prove that the person making the edits is really editing their own data only? That means passwords.

Sorry to be paranoid, but if you are collecting and hosting this data, you'll need to make efforts to protect it. Google Docs might be something to look at for this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357691 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
