ok, so if I understand your requirements ..

During an 'Edit', the authorname and authoremail fields should retain their original values and not be replaced by the person who is logged in and editing the entry

I would again change the CreateInputForm function in Form.ascx.vb, find the case statements where the AUTHORNAME and AUTHOREMAIL tags are processed. I would modify the logic slightly to only set the fields to the logged in user if the Repository item's ItemID field is equal to -1, which indicates the item is being added. That way on an 'edit' the original author's name and email will not be changed. (add the text in blue below)

If objRepository.ItemID = -1 And HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  objTextbox.Text = UserInfo.Profile.FullName
  ' objtextbox.Enabled = False
End If

Ok, I have figured this out.

Steve had suggested the following modification:

If HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  objTextbox.Text = UserInfo.Profile.FullName
  ' objtextbox.Enabled = False
End If

Try this instead:

If HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated And objRepository.ItemId > 0 Then
  ' objTextbox.Text = UserInfo.Profile.FullName
  ' objtextbox.Enabled = False
ElseIf HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  objTextbox.Text = UserInfo.Profile.FullName
  objtextbox.Enabled = False
End If

This adds an additional check to see if the object is a New Item, If it is not, then it will allow the Author and Email values to be edited, showing the current value. If the object is a New Item, then it uses the logged in User's Profile to fill in the Author and Email fields, which can not be edited.

Don't forget to apply the same modifications to the EMail section as Steve mentioned in his post.

Thanks guy, my friend send me a gift this morning, the file modified as expected !!
i.e. :
- if it is a new item, it takes the username/email of logged user with possibility to modify it.
- if it is an old item, it takes the existing value.

Just perfect as I expected !!!! I am very happy, I will work with it. If someone need the modification, I will ask my friend if he agrees to give it (and I will put it on my web).
