Melissa,

What is wrong is that this relies upon there being a referring page that goes to the logon page. You can not go directly to the
logon page.

True - we can't see where Session("REFERRER") is being set though.

I'd lose the session var stick the referer into a hidden field and then
either direct to it or direct to a default page if it's empty.

Melissa,
change this
If ComparePassword(Request("UID"),Request("PWD")) Then
' If comparison was good, store the user name...
Session("UID") = Request("UID")
' ...and redirect back to the original page.
Response.Redirect Session("REFERRER")
End If
to
If ComparePassword(Request("UID"),Request("PWD")) Then
' If comparison was good, store the user name...
Session("UID") = Request("UID")
if request("ref") <> "" then
response.redirect request("ref")
else
response.redirect "default.asp"
end if
End If
and
<input name="UID" type="text" size="20">
to
<input name="UID" type="text" size="20">
<input type="hidden" name="ref"
value="<%=request.servervariables("http_referrer")%>">

If you're really stuck with this you can email me the code offlist.

Also, change the login.inc to a login.asp file. That way if anyone tries to
view the page that includes the login code, it won't be displayed in the
browser, it will be executed by the server and not shown. That way someone
can't try to view the code then figure out a way to bypass it.


Hope this helps,
