I have a question on this - it can be disabled but highly suggested not to?  What loophole exactly does this allow?  We're receiving several complaints about this feature from dual box users, but if disabling it will leave us open to some dangerous hack, then they can live with it.
 
If it's simply being worried about an account being logged in more than once, then I'd tend towards modding it out.
 
Thanks for any explanation.

dj air -

My apologies - you were right. My site partner had added that line up above - it wasn't in the original code.

So do what he said. I'm a moron.

I disagree dj air - why would you change that line? You don't need to read it in at all. First, because it's read in directly above, and secondly because you're not going to do anything with it.

Basically, all you need to do is comment out these two lines:

   'rsCommon.Fields("User_code") = strUserCode
   'rsCommon.Update

I've done that and not modified anything else and it works perfect.

this will not work. the code below is what you need. The code abovestill creates a new usercode, and making it so you wont be able tologin at all.


'For extra security create a new user code for the user
   strUserCode = rsCommon("User_code")
   'Save the new usercode back to the database
   'rsCommon.Fields("User_code") = strUserCode
   'rsCommon.Update

use this code. its the bold section that is needed, as you need to get the usercode from the database.

'For extra security create a new user code for the user

   'Save the new usercode back to the database
   rsCommon.Fields("User_code") = strUserCode
   rsCommon.Update
