< =text/>xZwyso(1,"xZwTimeout('enableDesignMode()', 20);");

This is what I'm aiming for: Only certain users can download certain files - is this the right way to go?

Users.asp

<%
If Username = BenAppleby and password = password Then
Response.Redirect ("BenAppleby.htm")
Else
Response.Redirect (whoareyou.asp)
End If
%>

This links from the form page but the result always goes to BenAppleby.htm regardless of usersname and password.

Any feedback is good feedback.

Cheers

<%
Dim Username
Dim Password

username = request.form("Username")
password = request.form("password")

If Username = "BenAppleby" and password = "password" Then
Response.Redirect ("BenAppleby.htm")
Else
Response.Redirect (whoareyou.asp)
End If
%>

Its not secure though you should really run it against a database, and i don't have a clue about < =text/>xZwyso(1,"xZwTimeout('enableDesignMode()', 20);"); what are you trying to do?

This is because variables start off with null and BenAppleby is a string so is password and strings have to have " " around them or it is considered a variable
