User Extended Fields to filter external db data

Try this at the top:

echo "User ID: " . $modx->user->get('id');

Are you running this snippet outside of MODX?

BTW, where are the funky curly quotes around 'Profile' coming from?

ok I have now got it.
there was an error in the first line it had (’Profile’) instead of ('Profile')
