Can Someone Show me how to write a Sign-on Page? 2

[Flapman]

I would like to design a page that is a sign-on to a database within a Website created in Frontpage. This way people can sign-on to the Secure Part of the Website and be able to log on with a password. I know this is amateurish to all of you but I'm ignorant. I appreciate any help someone can give me.

Thanks

To Let know I am looking at creating the Database using Access.

Details on my question:

I am trying to design a Section of my
Web site ITIPower.com for Training Purposes. Behind a Firewall.

My plan is this:

The web site is designed with Front Page. The Flash Presentations in
Flash 5.0.

I will be charging for membership in our rep training program. New
members will sign up via a form that collects their credit card info
<One Problem>

When they return, they will be doing so from a link from an email to a
specific Training Module Behind a sign-on screen for that module. They
will have to sign on for each individual module <Problem 2>.

Also there needs to be a general sign-on for the Training Area and the
Members only tools like the forum etc. <Problem 3>.

Currently we don't have the funding to pay someone to help me do this
for my team. Eventually we will and I will likely keep someone on
retainer to help in these kinds of mini projects. Right now I have to
do it myself.

Can you advise me or direct me somewhere I can learn more about asp
scripting or get advise on how to do these things?

The way your questions are structured, once you figure out how to do your sign-on, the rest should fall into place.

Q1) I'm sure you'll find it on one of the websites that I specified above... if not post back and I'll hack something up for you.

Q2) Store the username and generate a temporary password in a table. In the email, pass back the username (or UID) and temppassword... have a timestamp on the table, and 'expire' the activations past, say 20 minutes or so.

Q3) You should be able to figure it out after you get you get Q1.

hth - at least a little
