I have a list of 1000 users already registered on my site but it's mySQL and not Access. So, I decided to use the WebWiz Forum as it is, with Access back-end, separately from my site. I'll just have a link from my site poitning to the forum. To this end, I'm trying to populate manually the WebWiz Access database user fields (username/password) with my exisiting list of users but can't figure out how to deal with the encryption. If I manually input the username/password in the database, the login through the ASP page wont work. Any idea? ------------- Morgan |

Theres a thread where I did this using Access, Excel, and the v6.x to v7.x upgrade tool. Its really easy if you have any knowledge of Access and Excel and could actually be done with the right update query in Access. I just used Excel as the intermediary since it was faster to write out a formula.
