Hello and thanks in advance -

I'm creating a searchable directory of over 1,000 organizations.  I imported these organizations as "Organization" contact type, and now I'm trying to enable registered users who are the authorized contacts for these organizations to update their organization's profile and record.  I launched in beta this week.  I have 17 users so far who've created accounts (Drupal 6.19/CiviCRM 3.2), all of whom are the main contacts for their organization - though I have no way as yet for them to edit their organization's info.

I've just now created and applied a relationship ("is main contact for"), and I've created an editing profile form for the organization which is accessed via "civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=" However, when I test this, I get this error message: "This profile is configured for contact type 'Organization'. It cannot be used to edit contacts of other types."

I'm still a newbie at this - I believe I remember reading a caution somewhere that different Contact types cannot be mixed within the same profile.  Is this the problem?  If so - or even if not - what would be the best way to enable "Individual" contact types to find and edit the "Organization" data for which they are the related "main contact person"?

Thanks for any suggestions and guidance.
