Mh...first of all thanks to everyone that would like to help me and thanks to Bruce for this great piece of sw.

I've to integrate Forums in an e-Learning application. I've to make it as flawless as I can. The first step is bypassing the login: I mean, the person is logged-in in the application and when he/she clicks on "FOrums" it should enter in the forum list already logged in.

I can pass the login name very easily in the querystring but not the password (these data should be syncronized int the two db's). Is there any way to do this.

Another question is probably easier. I've to automate the process of creating a forum, deleting one, adding & removing person, subscribing & unsubscribing people to forums & so on.How can I handle this?

Thanks to evryone
Andrea

there is one simple solution.. make one big happy database : )

but yea... if you use one database you can use everything from the forums... ie: login.asp you can use that to login the users and bypass the whole login integration stuff... you would have to have the same user and password for every user in your database... that is just too time consuming... make your life easier : )

thx for the answer.
Unfortunately I cannot use a single DB since the "other" app is an enterprise-class application made with ISAPI (no way to access/modify the login scripts...).

The best idea I've had for now is this:
- every forum user will have the same password.
- he'll NOT be able to know/modify this password
- when a user is created in the "other" db, create also a user in the forum db (same userid), using the registration.asp and using the predefined password
- then when the user ask to login to the forum use the login.asp page, filling the userid and the "standard" password. So he'll logged-in in a transparent way.

In this way the user can access to the forum only using my function, and I can insert the function AFTER the "other" app login.
Also he can change his password in the "other" app, without the need to sync the two passwords.
What do you think?

The second one is how to automate the creation of forums, but I think that working a bit with the asp pages can solve the issue.
