A couple options for this....one is to add a timestamp to the users table as well for last login attempt, and reset the counter if the account is locked once a certain time is up (I usually use an hour). If your application has a backend, you can also create a function for the administrator to reset the counter manually. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
