Hi Go Piss Up A Rope,

Nice name you have for yourself. It may provide clues about your character and intelligence ;>)

Assuming that you're not skilled in ASP programming, I've also assumed that you created the registration utilizing the DIW (Database
Interface Wizard) in FP.

To check the registration you have to use ASP code to read the database with a SQL Select statement and then compare the records
password with the password provide by the visitor.

oRS.Open "Select * from Users where User = """ & request.form("User") & """;"
if Not oRS.EOF then
if oRS.Fields("PassWord") = request.form("PassWord") then
'
' Set a session var that is check by each page
'
session("LoggedIn") = "yes"
request.redirect "firstprotectedpage.asp"
end if
else
Msg = "UserID or Password is not correct please try again."
end if


The above is the core code but would also require the page setup, etc.

HTH,

There is a good login program available here:

The free version is barebones, but works well.

Take care.
