restricting access to search results page...

[aamaker]

I have a search app that I've built for a site, another site has a form on their site and passess the form variable and they're able to generate search results without having the user use my search page.... I want to BLOCK search results that done show a referrer as being within my own domain...

how in the world is something like that constructed? Can someone show me an example of how it might look?

- Thanks

did you try to password protect your database? where in only your connection string does the name and password reside.

Im using access 2000 database, and dsn-less connection strings as per my host (I dont think dsn is available for this particular clients' site).

How does the connection string look (dsn-less) with username/password??? I think I may have posted a question to that effect in the past, but couldnt figure it out.

edit your dsn-less with something like this

=c:\somepath\dbname.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=pass;

naturally you'll have to put the password on access
