What is the easiest way to have the name of the logged on user appear on the logged in page? I have a database with the following fields:

Name
UserName
Password

The page is password protected so as soon they log on they have access to that page I want the NAme that corresponds to that user name to appear on the top of the page like this: ie:

Welcome <Name>

Thanks.

While login, set a cookie for the user.
Encrpyt the cookie so that you only can view it.

Search for some ASP Encrypt scripts in google.
RC4 Encryption Using ASP & VBScript

Use the cookie value to display the name.

Caution: Do not save too much sensitive data on the cookie.

If the users' browser do not support cookies, you can use session variables.

he net,

On the login page you can use two things.

1. You can set a cookie with the users Username iin it.
<%
dim strEmail

Response.Cookies("MyCookie")("username")="ACJavasc ript";
Response.Cookies("MyCookie").Expires = Date +1; 'one day
strUsername=Request.Cookies("MyCookie")("username" );
%>
Welcome <%=strUsername%>

2. You can use a session variable.
<%
'really basic look
Session("MySession")="ACJavascript"
%>
Welcome <%=Session("MySession")%>

Good luck!
