Answers.Text: Thanks - I have created users account forms etc all before - all fairly straight forward;
  Then when a user is logged in to Order a repeat prescription - that User Profile Data would auto-complete the Order Form - I was thinking of using the a&m forms plugin for that - so each Order is stored in the CMS and an email sent. I was wondering when that order form is submitted could that also update their user profile if there was any differences in it?

Answers.Text: I'm sure there is a way. My guess is that you would need to create some sort of plugin that listens to the order form submit, then updates the user profile within craft.

  Yep, that's totally do-able. Check out [this article](https://craftcms.com/docs/templating/user-registration-form) to see how to create a registration form.
  
  Then check out [this article](https://craftcms.com/docs/templating/user-profile-form) to see how to create the update profile form.
  
  The thing to note is that any custom fields like `address` or `city` need to be pre-pended with `fields`.
  
  So, let's say you want the user to enter their city. On your front-end form the markup looks like this:
  
  ```
  <h3><label for="city">City</label></h3>
  <input id="city" type="text" name="fields[city]"
  {%- if currentUser is defined %} value="{{ currentUser.city }}"{% endif %}>
      {% if currentUser is defined %}
          {{ errorList(currentUser.getErrors('city')) }}
      {% endif %}
  
  ```
  
  ... and so on.
  
  Make sure that your field handle(s) in the CP align with what you call them on your front-end form.
