I have created my own profile. I have used civiCRM2.0.2 on drupal5.5.
Now, when i save the filled up profile it gets stored and i can find that from find contacts. But as soon as i save the second filled up profile then the second one replaces the first one.i.e. i can now save only one filled up profile at my database.
I have gone through the forums, issue trackers and have even googled it but have found no resolution yet. So please help.

My first guess is that you are editing the contact record associated with your drupal user login, so any new info is simply replacing the old info - which is the correct and expected behavior. To add additional contact records one at a time, select the "New Individual" or which ever is appropriate in the shortcut menu found in the left pane of the CiviCRM interface.

Thanks a lot.
But when i click on new individual i get the whole form to fill up that is already on drupal. Let me explain what i have done and what exactly i want.
I have created my own new profile where i have customised the fields. I have copied the codes from standalone form and paste it in a new page. Then I have added a menu item on the navigation menu such that clicking on that item i get my own page. This page consist of only the fields that i want and here i can edit the fields. Now, what i want is to fill up this form(which consist of only the fields that i created) for more than one individual and save it.

Hi,

Try accessing this page
civicrm/profile/create?gid=1&reset=1

with gid is the number of your profile.

Thanks, Xavier.
But this URL simply links to civicrm.org site.
Please help.

Sorry, should have detailled.

you have to put your own http://<yoursite> before. the exact syntax depends if you use the clean urls or not.

What's the main civicrm page ? on mine, it's something like http:example.com/civicrm/dashboard?reset=1

On the address of your civicrm, replace "dashboard?reset=1" by "civicrm/profile/create?gid=1&reset=1".

Xavier, many many thanks for your replies and your patience as well.

Since, right now, i am working locally and as i have not yet cleaned urls so my main civicrm page is
http://localhost/drupal-5.5/index.php?q=civicrm/dashboard&reset=1
and my profile id is 2.
When i replaced "dashboard&reset=1" by "civicrm/profile/create?gid=2&reset=2" then it takes me back to the same main civicrm page.

I am new to civicrm. So please elaborate the points.
