Lets say that I have friends and family .I would like to create an ASP login Form that will direct the user if he has family to the family page And if he was a friend to the friends page. I would really appreciate any help in developing this form. Also if there is a ready scripts that I could customize to my project

Thanks a million

Very simple. Make a table containing the list of all the users. Classify each user whether they be friends or relatives. For example, you have table named USERS in your database with this structure:
Code: 
USER_ID    PASSWORD  USER_NAME  USERTYPE
jd         deer      John Doe      R
mm         eminem    Mary Lamb     F

The user types 'R' means relative and 'F' means friend.

Thank you for your fast reply.. I think I have got the DB part, but how can I do that using ASP. And how to redirect the user to the write place..Please advice

Have the login page check for the USERTYPE field,

i.e
if usertype = r then
response.redirect "relatives.htm"
else
response.redirect "friends.htm"

Well, that seems to be the situation. But I don't want that. And you don't want that. And Ringo here *definitely* doesn't want that.

amal1973,

Try a code like this and save it as an ASP file.
Take note of the connection string. Customize it to suit the type of database you use. My sample connection string is applicable to a SQL database.

Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Login</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
  user_id=request.form(&quot;user_id&quot;)
  if user_id=&quot;&quot; then
%>
<form name=&quot;frmLogin&quot; method=post action=&quot;<%=Request(&quot;SCRIPT_NAME&quot;)%>&quot;>
Enter User ID<br>
<input name=&quot;user_id&quot;>
<br>
Enter Password<br>
<input type=password name=&quot;password&quot;>
<input name=&quot;OK&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>
<%
else
  Set CN = Server.CreateObject(&quot;ADODB.connection&quot;)
  CN.Open &quot;Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;&quot; & _
            &quot;User ID=sa;Password=;&quot; & _
            &quot;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Data Source=MyServer&quot;

  set RS = CN.execute(&quot;select * from USERS where USER_ID='&quot; & _
           request.form(&quot;user_id&quot;) & &quot;'&quot;)

  if RS.EOF then 
%>
Invalid Login ID<br>
<a href=&quot;<%=Request(&quot;SCRIPT_NAME&quot;)%>&quot;>Try again</a>
<%
  else
    password=request.form(&quot;password&quot;)
    if trim(RS.Fields(&quot;password&quot;))=trim(password) then 
      if RS.Fields(&quot;usertype&quot;)=&quot;R&quot; then
        response.redirect(&quot;relatives.asp&quot;)
      else
        response.redirect(&quot;friends.asp&quot;)
      end if
    else
%>
Invalid Password<br>
<a href=&quot;<%=Request(&quot;SCRIPT_NAME&quot;)%>&quot;>Try again</a>
<%
    end if
  end if
end if
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Here are some other connection string samples you may use in place of the one I coded above. If you are using...

Visual FoxPro, try it like this:
Code: 
CN.Open &quot;Driver=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver; &quot; & _
         &quot;SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=C:\MyDir;&quot;
This example assumes you have the USERS.DBF free table located in C:\MyDir folder

or

MS Access, try it this way:
Code: 
CN.Open &quot;Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;&quot; & _
         &quot;Data Source=C:\MyDir\MyDB.mdb;&quot;
This example assumes you have USERS table defined in MyDB.mbd database located in C:\MyDir folder.
