Please help!  Thanks.

Try something like:

<!--#include file="/forum/common.asp" -->
<% 
 ' Collect Username from database using available WWF Cookie.
 strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Author.Username" _
   & " FROM " & strDbTable & "Author " _
   & " WHERE " & strDbTable & "Author.User_code = '" & Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("UID") & "';"
 'Query the database
 rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon
 if rsCommon.EOF then
  Status = False ' We cant find their details, or the Cookie was blank
 else
  Status = True
  Username = rsCommon("Username")
 end if
 %>

Assuming your fourm is located in /forum/
