Databse - ASP str" command help needed

strUsername in that line is the name of the variable that stores the persons username throughout the forum code.

str is not an ASP command, all the str part of the variable is something I put in as I use this as part of my naming convention when programming so I know what datatype the variable contains.

I use the following naming conventions in my code for variables:-

str = string
int = interger
lng = long interger
dbl = double
bln = booleon
dtm = date
cur = currency
etc.

These are not commands just something I simply place in to help me when I am coding.

I've still not owrked out what you are doing.

Your best bet is give it ago and see if it works, if it doesn't mess with it somemore till it does.
