I would say it depends on the size of, and amount of commonality between, the two datasets. If you have two registration forms, each containing dummy values in hidden fields for the data not applicable to each registration, although it may be a little less efficient in terms of data storage, you should end up with just one relatively simple (if big) function that handles both registration types. If you want to post an overview of the datasets involved, I'll try to offer a more definative opinion.

Addendum: Ironically my reply above includes that three letter word that starts with an s, ends with an x, and has an e in the middle, and the forum software deems it so inappropriate as to replace it with a string of hash signs, but the website thinks it is OK to show a very suggestive photo of an old lady doing something that sounds like mass debate!

I have to agree. Today I used the site to lookup something whilst at home with my g/f sitting right next to me, and the page included an ad for a 'mature dating' website, with an unnecessarily graphic photo of a 40(50?)somthing woman, in a very short skirt with her legs apart, and touching herself in an inappropriate way. I found this very embaressing, and I struggled to explain to my g/f that W3Schools is not a dating/###### website, and I also cannot understand it because I never visit those type of websites anyway so why would it choose to show me such an ad.
