Each registration would *attempt* to register as a student, parent or whatever. Those attempted registrations would go into a "wait" queue. Meantime, emails would be sent to an administrator whose job is would be to "bless" those registrations. They would check to see if a potential registrant was what they claimed to be. You'd give them a page where the queued registration attempts would show up. And they would check the proper box for each potential registrant. Once done, the registration would be completed, and in the proper category.

Yeah, that would fall on our shoulders. School administration won't do this. It comes back to the IT Department and we have to "figure it out". The problem is, while we can "bless" student registrations, we can't always tell if the next one is a parent or not, or if it's a parent in our district. We do have another system in place, one in which we hand out 2 unique keys for each student at each school and parents pick those up. Internally those keys are matched to that student so we know who it is that's registering. However, that requires a lot of front work to get those keys out. For this particular project, we want to make it as painless as possible, but the more I think about it, the more I'm accepting the impossible nature of it.

Ugh that's what I had suggested, but you turned it into a big fight LOL. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !
