Hi John,
Your form submit button is called "Submit", not "userLogin".
So, change:
<!---if the user is submitting the "login" form--->
<!---include the "Login Check" to validate the user--->
<cfif isDefined("FORM.userLogin")>
to now be:
<!---if the user is submitting the "login" form--->
<!---include the "Login Check" to validate the user--->
<cfif isDefined("FORM.Submit")>
and it should all work.
Thanks,
Paul Day
