I have a specific task but I need to know the basics and I cant seem to find the info anywhere.

I need to create a page that users can access (not create) and type info into it which will be saved in the db.

What Modules/content type/fields do I need to install??

I'd very much appreciate any help as I am completely lost with drupal and dont even know where to begin.

Cheers

If I understand your question correctly, you can simply do that task without installing additional module. All data in Drupal will save into database. You can set specific permission for that task.

Also if you want to add more fields, you can try CCK Module - http://drupal.org/project/cck

If you want more control of how people access the page, you might check out Content Access Module - http://drupal.org/project/content_access

If you want the information to generally display on the site, cck as mentioned above is the way to go.

If you are just collecting information that is not meant to be generally viewable you might check out the webforms module.

Thanks to both of you for the quick reply.

I looked into CCK and from what I understand its the ability to add custom fields that a user can input data into when creating a page?

I was not wanting the user to create a new page everytime but view the same page, if thats incorrect then my apologies.

I will check out the webforum module now

Thanks again :)
