For example: at some ASP forum, At the same time , I can use my account login at two or more different computers.

I don't want this happen,what can I do ?

where can I find the ASP codes to avoid this happen?

THX!!

Only way I can think of is to do something with the session object

Either that, or maintain a db table with a list of currently logged on users.

When a user tries to log on, check to see if the userid already exists in the table.

The only problem is ensuring that the userid is removed from the table when they log off. If they simply close their browser without logging off, they will never be able to log on again.

Therefore, the session object ooption is most likely better - at least the session will eventually expire, thus allowing the user to log on again.

Would you not need to use the session object and a database.

When a user logs in set loggedIn = true in database then pass username to session.
Then use session on End with a short expiry to set loggedIn = false in database when their session ends.
