I have built a login page. If the user enters a wrong password it bounces them back to the loginpage but I would like it to show a message saying something like "Incorrect password / user name".

Do I need to have two login pages ie one with no error message and one with the error message or is there something that UD can do?

The easiest way is to use two pages. you can use one page if you know how to use basic IF statements, but thats hand coding.

Actually, Macromedia login creates a variable called Session("MM_Username" upon successful login. So as long as they're not entering a password (and as long as any valid session is not active) you could use the following code:

<%
IF (Session("MM_Username" = "" THEN
Notice = "<b><font color=red>Invalid Username or Password</font></b>"
END IF
%>

And later on in the page you can place:

<%= Notice %>

If the Notice contains text, it'll show up then.
