Send computer generated web page PW to email address

[Guest]

I want to password protect a specific web page link to demo software by
having the user enter his name, company, and email address into a form and
then have the system computer generate a password and send the password to
the user's email address he had entered in the form.

Is this possible?

Yes, but will require the ability to write custom server-side script, such as ASP, PHP, etc. and use
a database.

Hi CP
Here is a good way to create a database, you will need to be on a windows
server with frontpage extension installed
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

do a search for the asp script to do the emailing and password creation
part. if you can't find one ou could do the following as a second choice.

In the form you could have a field where the customer creates there own
username and password which will populate the database you could then use
this tutorial to password the demo page.
