what you need to do is set up a session ID for the username. So when the user logs in Set what he entered to a session variable. Session("User") or something like that. Then when the user is logged in Response.Write(Session("User")) .

Court Jester is right....
Often needed information such as username, preference data and anything about the 'login' that will be accessed frequently, could be stored in cookies, or session variables. There are however arguments for and against this method. What happens if cookies are turned off? Another option is to just hit the database once per page to retrieve that data. Hope this helps.

First, when you process the form data containing the visitor's first name, write the name to a Session variable, as follows:
<% Session("FirstName") = Request.Form("fname") %> Next, add the following lines of code prior to the <HTML> tag at the top of each page in your site (except default.asp): <% If Session("FirstName") = "" Then Response.Redirect("default.asp") End If %> If the FirstName Session variable is blank, indicating that the visitor hasn't yet logged in, he'll be redirected to the default.asp page to do so.

The code abow is for secure login, so that the users needs to go from your login page and not just type in the url.
So to show the login name, just type: Welcome <%=Session("FirstName")%> to my page! Regards, www.fjeldweb.com |
