Paul, There are several issues to consider before you take this step: 1. Are you the only one who will be doing web development for your company? 2. Are there existing web sites in ASP? 3. Are you going to try to integrate your web logon with your network ID's? 4. Is MS Site Server available to you? My personal suggestion would be that you skip ASP and go to ASP.NET. There are a number of compelling reasons for this, but ultimately it depends on what your company will support. As far as ASP classic books, my favorites were the WROX ASP series. You can skip Beginning ASP; go straight to Professional ASP. I believe there was also an ASP databases book in the series. Before you but the books try www.4guysfromrolla.com - the best ASP site on the web. Search their site for Authentication or Authorization to find possible answers to your specific problem.

We are going to transfer our main booking database to SQL Server 7.0, and will be using this as a back-end to an Intranet/Internet page. What I am really after is a way to create a logon page that grants access via a user table, I think if someone could give me some sample code to do this (i.e. designing the logon page and connecting to the database to check the logins) I may be able to get a better understanding before we go to far. Also does anyone know any good books for this, I am currently programming in VB/VBA on XP machines with a Windows 2000 server.
