using hyperlink in email to redirect through logon to web page

[Dave Lagergren]

Let me see if I can explain this simply. I send out a hyperlink with a query
string (http://wirelessmgt.com/logon/order_display.asp?OrderNumber=2) . I
believe I have that working ok now. The difficulty is that it goes to a
section of our site that is password protected. The screen comes up asking
for the username and password but then gives the error:

Response object error 'ASP 0158 : 80004005'

Missing URL

/logon/logon.asp, line 13

A URL is required.

I use an inc file to do the password work. Can I "route" the hyperlink
through the login somehow so it all works? If need be I can post all the
code - it is very lengthy. Are there any articles that can help? I have
received hyperlinks in emails that somehow direct me through all this...

Move the login page outside of the protected area, then when you link to it, store the orderNo in a
session, and then pass that allow when logging in.


FYI: For security make sure that the file extensions for all files have the .asp when used as ASP
includes.
