hmm, I think this post should be filed under "cryptic"

-what are you trying to accomplish with this code?
-are you getting an error message?
--if so, what is the error message?

Is this thing on?....

oh i am sorry . here are the details ..

iis 5 , ie 6 , asp ,win xp ,access xp

it gave me no error - feild name are corect evry thing is fine -

the above code always give me the no pic image - although the text_intro contains a value . THEN works But the <% else %> doest not work . if u want i will email u the whole script -

any help ?

hmmm... ok, from what I can gather, the "text_intro" field of the recordset is the URL to the image that you want to display...
I see that the if statement is comparing this URL, to the session variable "username"

I"m not totally sure what your application is trying to accomplish, but you've got to know the runtime values of both the "username" and the "text_intro".
do this by doing a response.write before the comparison is made:

response.write "username: " & session("username"
response.write "text_intro: "& Recordset1.Fields.Item("text_intro".Value

once you know these values at runtime, you can know if the comparison is doing what you want it to do...
in reality, you're the only one that knows how you want you app to behave, so once you do a little debugging, you can make the right changes.

suhailkaleem,

I have the strong feeling that you are using an access database. I learnt from my Conditional Region extension that everyone using an acces database has these problems. You can grab the value of the database field only once and after that the values always seems to be empty.

A solution that always works:
&lt;% DIM myVar=Recordset1.Fields.Item("text_intro".Value %&gt;
&lt;% If myVar = Session("username" Then %&gt;
&lt;Img src = "images/no_photo.gif" width="85" height="100" align="middle" border="1" &gt;
&lt;% else %&gt;
&lt;img src="&lt;%=(myVar)%&gt;" align="middle" width="200"&gt;
&lt;% End If %&gt;

But remember: this is a workaround. I read somewhere that changing the recordset properties should solve the problem. Select the recordset in your databindings window and open the property inspector. There you can change the recordset properties.
I don't remember the correct settings to make it work but maybe you should do some trial and error experiments and report the results here.
We have a tutorial on the recordset properties that might help you: www.UDzone.com/go?710

You'd better first start debugging like Joel mentioned.
