Hi, Sorry if this topic is covered somewhere else, I haven't seen, I am trying to allow people to sign up online. I didn't check the automatically update box when creating the profile, but if I use the same email address, it will replace the information with whatever I enter for that email address regardless of how the duplicate matching is set.

Is there a way to fix this, to prevent a record being overwritten if someone uses the same email address?

Also, is there a way to configure a page to display if I get a duplicate error?

sorry if this has already been covered.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah

Hi I found another post with the same issue here- http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,1406.0.html

this is pretty much the problem I am experiencing.
Even as an anon user, if I enter a name and address with an email that already matches one in the database it will replace that record with the new information.

guess we will have to wait for the 2.X release.

Thanks.
