Hello, I have an address book, populated by registration, using an Access db that has update and delete links after each registered user. I would like to display the update and delete link only to the user that has logged in. Is this possible using VB ASP pages? I.E I log in as bdunk and i would see the update and delete link next to my name only. thanks so much. Bdunk

At the sucessful login process you could set session variables of the users uid/pwd.

Then if their name/ pass equals a record with the same uid/pwd then display the images/ links for editing/ deletion.

Roughly like this:

'if username and password entered match a record then:

  Session("Name"= rs("Name"
  Session("ID"=rs("ID"

Then in all your pages you can open recordsets with:

  rsData = "select * from tblData"

And when you get to where the graphics for edit/ delete go on your html:

If rsData.userName = Session("Name" AND rsData.userID = Session("ID" then
  'display the graphics/ links to edit/ delete
End If
