I'm shopping around for an ASP-based message board for a friend/
client. He already has members registered via an Access2000 db. I like the format of your forums, but before I start downloading and tinkering, I need to know if it is feasable to use an existing membership database with your product. I don't want to start tearing into his code/db too much. It is a simple database with username,password, generic profile info, and level of membership(tier) fields, nothing too fancy. |

Okay, if it's been done (successfully), I'll give it a shot. Any
documentation/notes available? I'll post my efforts in this thread. |

There's few posts around her by folk who have done it. I believe one of the issues that neede to addressed when merging/integrating is the encrypted passwords. If you do a search, make sure you select the dropdown for searching message body. It defaults to searching the topic header. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

I've done it sucessfully twice with SQL Server. To my knowledge there's no documentation of the process. I use a join on the members table and update the register table to update the parts of the tables that cannot be updated via a join. If you need any help, send me a PM and I'll do what I can ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |
