Hi,

Can anyone recommend a way how to do this:

I am using the login user dynamic redirect behaviour in MX. Its working well but i would like the user that logs in to go to their personal details that can be displayed in a detail.asp page as long as a value to passed to it eg ClientID=34 or something like that.

Is there anyway to do this?? anyone?

set up a simple asp session in DW, the session will exist on all pages, and although sessions isnt the best way to do things a simple procedure like this will have no impact on your server resources, so it's ok to use in my opinion.

name the session <b>MM_UserName</b> // simply put, this is DW's built in name which will auto find any logins that already exist in the db and assign a seesion to it.

now set the login redirect to point at your detail.asp

first bit done.

open detail.asp

filter the recordset so it does this::

mine is set to "author, as it for my news manager, but you could set your to match your Username box or whatever else u wish.

and voila, your records are now filtered specifically for that user.

and on the plus side, you don't pass any ID=35 in the url, which i personally think is dodgy if your showing personal info.

Regards,
Dave
