Of course, it depends on what type of information, how much of it there is, and what else (outside of displaying/modifying it in LL) you want to do. The KUAF table has a column for user data, so a moderate amount of information (address, phone numbers, etc.) could be stored there (OScript/Weblingo customization). If you want to integrate the information with some external data, like a payroll system, then LAPI would probably be the way to go.How's that for an answer? - "It depends"

Ok, thanks for your answer. I'm wondering if I can make a module to repalce the save.group function. I want that my module to be able to install aside of Livelink, and when I make an upgrade I don't have to mpdify htmls I want that my module be supported. Any ideas of how to do this?Thanks.

(Assuming that you are on version 8.X) When you create a module, you have your own OScripts that override the standard objects, as well as htmls. All of your customizations are wrapped up together, so it doesn't matter that you are modifying htmls. You can upgrade and (usually) re-compile the OScripts and you're done.

Thanks, let me see if I understand everything. If I make a new object based on the one that add the user. I just have to enable it, make the modifications to the HTML and OSCript execute and that will be all I have to do?Thank you very much.

Actually, I'm trying to save additional information to the KUAF UserData field, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to accomplish such a simple thing.I orphaned LLIAPI | Root | UserCallbacks, created my own child, overrode the features as instructed in the UserCallbacks documentation, and created the HTML stub with the additional fields, thinking that would be it -- that the UserCallbackSubsystem would handle the rest (as if!).The fields show up -- blank -- but I can't figure out how to actually save this new data into KUAF's UserData without going the brute-force way and overriding a bunch of WEBUSER oScript and WebLingo. It looks like someone at some point tried to provide an easy way to stub in new user info. Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
