Yes I did and thank you very much. However, it did not work. See my latest post. I decided to try something real simple and got a different error message:
Element ACCESSCODE is undefined in FORM. The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\RickRossiter\NLR\Templates\loginForm.cfm: line 215 213 : SELECT Password, FirstName, userID 214 : FROM Users 215 : WHERE ("#form.accessCode#" = password) 216 : </cfquery> 217 : the form generating this is: <cfquery name="getUser" datasource="#dsn#"> SELECT Password, FirstName, userID FROM Users WHERE ("#form.accessCode#" = password) </cfquery> <cfform name="siteAccess" action="siteAccessLogin.cfm?userIP=#REMOTE_ADDR#" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="accessCode"> <cfinput type="password" maxlength="25" name="accessCode" value="" style="{height:24px; font-size:10px; font-weight:bold; color: blue; letter-spacing:0.2em; padding-top:5px; padding-left:2px}"> <cfinput type="submit" name="accessCode" label="Enter Access Code">---> </cfform> I made all the necessary changes in the database and used non-app specific labels so as not to confuse Access. Any ideas. Just a note: my caps lock was stuck on and I didn't realize it. I was not angry or frustrated :) Nick >Did you try what I said?
