Hi,
just use Session("UserID") as default value on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab for UpdatedBy field.

thank you Jane, fantastic, but now here is another problem,
how to make sure that user cannot change the value of the updated by?
currently session(UserId) is automatically populated as you kindly suggested, but user still can manualy change the userid in the box, I tried to use it as a readonly in the visual editor, but it did not work. please help.
thank you

Hi,
you can set up it as readonly on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab.

It's difficult to tell you what's happening without seeing actual files.
Please publish your project on Demo Account and send to support@xlinesoft.com a URL to your pages along with instructions on reproducing this error.

I'll find what's wrong with your project inspecting it at Demo account site.
