I have started a small information website called
http://www.ultimateworkfromhomeguide.com/
there is a page
http://www.ultimateworkfromhomeguide.com/MysteryShopping.htm and at the
bottom of the page ther is a link entitled "I want to learn.
I am building a tutorial currently a non-linked page
http://www.ultimateworkfromhomeguide.com/MSTutor/MST_01.htm

My problem or question is this:
when you click on I want to learn I want to go to a sign-up page
on that page there will be a PayPal button
if a viewer agrees and pays me the amount asked for I than want to give him
access to the tutorial page(s)
on the other hand if you do not want to pay then it should not be possible
to read the tutorial.
I also want to meke it so that you can never access the tutorial without a
login, i.e. if you put a shortcut on your desktop and open the tutorial (or
any page within the tutorial folder)from the desktop you must login first.

Thank you dave, that worked out fantastic.
Since you know so much maybe you can tell me were to look for the last piece
of the puzzle and that is how do I get their name and password into the DB
when they pay through paypal. Setting up PayPal is easy but capturing or
issuing the userID and password is my problem
Thanks again for all your help
 
Your form would need to write to DB (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825498)
as well as send to PayPal
Your problem will be that PayPal does not send any info back to your server
- so you will have no way to write to your DB that they actually completed the transaction at PayPal
That is why most real ecommerce uses a merchant account that can communicate back to your server

Thanks to both of you I am almost done, I build the form, it tells me it is
confirmed but does not place it into the database.
http://www.ultimateworkfromhomeguide.com/MSTutor/PasswordForm.asp
http://www.ultimateworkfromhomeguide.com/MSTutor/global.asa
http://www.ultimateworkfromhomeguide.com/MSTutor/_private/logon.mdb

I was reading through the posts and see often you ask for code so the links
above are the pages with the code behind it
anybody tell me what to do please, and yes I did use F1 first

Thomas, unfortunately PayPal requires that I know CGI to make it work and
that, I do not. I quote:

Payment Data Transfer (optional)


PayPal will post a token associated with the transaction, and you will need
to send this token back to PayPal in order to obtain the payment details
associated with the transaction. Based in the CGI script that you write for
the page associated with the Return URL, you may dynamically post transaction
details and confirmation that the payment has been completed to your
customer. To use Payment Data Transfer, you must be able to support this
notification system.


:
SO unfortunately I still am stuck and can't get my form to post to my DB

PayPal also offers a true merchant account.
