😡 I am brand new to writing code. With the help of MS code I found on the internet I was able to create a logon form in FrontPage. It has two fields that check user_name and password against an Access database1. If OK, it saves the user_name as a session variable and directs the person to a FrontPage password protected survey form (in otherwords, they must use the log on screen first). I have code that works great on the logon page that saves the session varaible as user_name. I also have code that makes the survey form greet the person to say “Welcome Joe Doe (what ever the session variable name is). The survey form has several form field questions that save back to database2 when you hit submit. But I can’t get the session variable user_name to save to a field to dump into the database!!!
I will have several different school districts logging in with their user_name and password and using the same survey. What I’d like to do is when they log in, save that session variable user_name to a form field called “district_name” which links and saves back to the database in a field called “district”. That way I will know by each record which district filled out the survey form.
What would the code be, where would I put this code (survey form) and what part: in the body, before <html ?
Things I’ve tried that didn’t work:
arFormFields0 (112) = Request(“District_Name”)
arFormDBFields0(112) = “District”
arFormValues0(112) = Session(“user_name”)
<% Session(“user_name”)=request.form (“district_name”) %> which did not work either
I tried this:
<%
If Len(Session(“user_name”)) <> 0 Then
Response.Write Request.form(“District_Name”)= Session(“user_name”)
End If
%>
that ends up putting the word “false” on screen like this and nothing in db: Princeton false School District, not in the text box.
I tried this & it didn’t work either
If Request.form(“District_Name”) = “” Then
FP_SaveFieldToDB fp_rs, (Request.form(“District_Name”)= session(“user_name”)), “District”
End If
HELP, HELP! I’m brand new to this & way over my head.
