Database help with username and password going to their record info

[Luke St Clair]

Hi,

Hoping that someone can help in this matter.

Just to explain the scenario so you may understand better. We are an
estate agents selling houses. We are encouraging people to register
online for e-mail updates. At present it is a simple system by a form
that e-mails itself to me and i enter information intoa database.
This is going to change. The first bit I have achieved , but the
second phase is where I need help.

A person will register their information, such as name, contact
details and their requirement for houses but selecting it in tick
boxes and the areas they are looking to buy in. I get them to enter a
password field as well.

What I want people to be able to do is to edit their criteria
themselves and change their info. So creating a login page where the
username is the e-mail address and obviously the password is stored in
the database. So when the user enters their e-mail address and
password it takes them to a page where they can check and alter their
registered information that is stored in the database. This then
updates the database record automaticaly. Also giving people the
option to delete themselves.

Please can anyone suggest the best way of going about this.

Thanks in advance,

Luke

Howdy.

To get this level of customization, you'd need to program
the application yourself in ASP or (preferably) ASP.NET.

Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 Inside Out comes with ASP
and ASP.NET sample code for a self-registration system,
but the interest codes and other details are specific to
your business, and therefore you'd need to program those
enhancements yourself.
