I am trying to protect a portion of a web site by allowing users to =
register a username and password & then login with those details, but so =
far I am having only marginal success. I am far from an expert on ASP =
programming, indeed the code I am using comes from "Sams Teach Yourself =
E-Commerce Programming with ASP" but it is ideally suited for my =
purpose.

In short, there are 3 .asp pages (register.asp, login.asp & =
checkpassword.asp - the code for each is below), a global.asa file was =
automatically created and by following the instructions in the book, I =
also created a small Access database called UserDB.mdb, which stores the =
username & password of each user when they register & also verify's =
those details when the user attempts to login again.

The DNS connection has been setup within FrontPage and I have verified =
that this connection works by clicking "Tools", "Web Settings" & the =
"Database" tab, highlighting the DNS connection & clicking Verify.=20

The problems seem to occur when I try to register a new username & =
password, for some strange reason the details I enter are not being =
saved in the database table, and to compound the problem further, if I =
register just a username, or a password but not both, the page simply =
refreshes itself with empty boxes instead of giving an error message to =
indicate that a "username" or "password" must be entered, which if I =
have read the code correctly on the "checkpassword.asp" page, should =
happen.

To further confuse the situation, if I manually enter a username & =
password into the database table and then attempt to click a hyperlink =
taking me to a "test.asp" page, with the INCLUDE FILE: <!-- #INCLUDE =
FILE=3D"checkpassword.asp" -->, I am automatically taken to the =
login.asp, where if I enter the username & password that I manually put =
into the database table, it takes me to the selected "Protected" web =
page. In my mind that clearly shows the DNS connection is working but =
yet it won't store new registered details into the database table, which =
is extremely confusing.

If anyone can see what I may be doing wrong, or point me in the right =
direction, your help & advice will be greatly appreciated. As I pointed =
out earlier I am far from an expert, so any help you can give would be =
ideally suited towards a newbie mentality.

Below is the code for the three .asp pages:

Hi Wayne,

I sympathize:

Quick suggestion:

1. Here is a pretty good code solution, however it uses sql server as =
the backend. Good background reading: =
http://www.siteexperts.com/tips/community/ts01/page1.asp

Don't use a DNS connection...rather use an absolute path to the =
database. Do a Google search for this.

2. Maybe try this solution: http://www.asp101.com/samples/login.asp
