Hi,

If you have a database with a field saying UserID how can you say who is logged in to your site and display it on a page? like the forums do - i've tried to look but its  abit over my head - is there a way of doing it realy simply?

You would have to write to something like an active users table if you just want to count logged in users. Simply do an insert to a table, have it updated on every page and if this updates finds users who have a lastupdatetime of let's say 20 min ago, scratch them.

Or you could set a cookie or session on the login page and use something like this:

if not request.cookies("userid") = "" Then

response.write request.cookies("userid")

Else

response.write "You are not logged in!"

End If

use the user counter on this site as an example, just modify that code to add to a database instead of incrementing an integer
