Anyone know how to....?

[ChrisBaktis]

add a numerical value to a non-member editable customer profile field...I track things for members and upon registration I would like the default value to be 0....Now I know you can go in and add a default value in the custom user profile field but that doesnt actually add the zero (0) default value...

fror example - I track trades on the site...I display the number of trades in the postbit...although I have that profile field default to '0' when you look at the post bit there is nothing there until I add another 0....

Im thinking I can run a scheduled task everynight to automaticly search for members that have nothing in the profile field then have it add zero...if this is the solution can someone help me out?

I hope I was able to make it clear enough to get an answer...
