ok, sounds like a plan........

but how do I create a form profile?

I've seen references to mv_form_profile, but I can't find anything in the
documentation.

I'm using version  4.8.6

There was a post about this -- search on "unique" at the mail list.

I added a unique check enhancement to IC 4.9, where you can do
a form profile and put:

    email=unique userdb:email Sorry, that email address is already in our db
