Member Database and User Authentication

[RamDje]

Hey All,

I am building a site that will have private section as well as public. The member database was given to me in Access. It is basically a contacts database which has First Name, Last Name, Address, Phone and Email. I would like to use the Email addresses as the usernames for the members and have them choose a password when they register. I also need some advice on how to invite existing members to add a password once the site is up and running. Does this make any sense?

Sure it makes sense.

The first think you do is create a Register.asp page with an "Insert Record" behavior where new users can create an account

Second
You create a login page with the fields you need and insert a "login user" behavior and in turn creating a cookie with the user's information. (name,address,phone etc...)

Then at the end of the "login user" recorset add something like
<%
recordset code......
if recordset.eof
response.redirect &quot;

http://your_site/register.asp&quot;

%>
