Need some help in coding and understanding how to do this? I have a log in
page, I need a registration page (where can I find one to copy?)

My web site is close to being done and I just need to make sure the log in
and registration is working correctly (need the code)

Then I need to be sure only some of my site is viewable without a name and
password.

Thanks in advance
 
Hi Mike
Are you using an online access database to store registration information?

Hi Paul,

I dont have one yet and need some help to get that in place to launch my web
site
 
Hi Mike
The easiest way is as follows;
Insert a form in a page with fields you wish to use for the database.
right click on the form and choose form properties and select send to
database.
In the options tag select create database ,this will create a folder in your
web called fpdb and an access database in that folder using the fields of
your form and create the connections to it from the form, so when you fill
out the form the database fields will be populated
You can then (if you wish to do a search on your database) use the database
results wizard to connect to the database and create a search and results
page.
When you have published the database and form pages and everything is
working OK you can connect to the database using the database interface
wizard ,this will create some secure pages to veiw and update the online
database.
Hope this helps

Jeez ! Clear as a bell !

Now just to make sure I'm clear on one little item, FP is going to create
the fpdb folder and the database. Don't need any other software other than
being on an ASP server, right ?

Thanks very much for your help and time.
 
You need to be on a Windows server - Unix (with add-ons like iASP) can
run ASP, but cannot run Access databases.

And, with Unix, Linux, BSD etc -- that is, anything running Apache
(including Windows, which can run this) -- password protecting
directories and files is EXTREMELY easy with a .htpasswd file.

With an .htpasswd file, there is no need to go through all the trauma
of setting up a database and validating users through it.
