Anyone know of a tutorial to allow the user to login then go to a page that displays the users first name in a Welcome "FirstName". I am coding in Dreamweaver MX using ASP. I am also using Dreamweaves Login and User Authentication Server Behaviors. Kent

all you need to do ken is create a session variable called 'MM_Username'. You can do this in the 'bindings' panel, click the + sign.
Dreamweaver will then use this as a focal point for whoever is logging into the site.
then on your page where people go when they log in, write a simple bit of code to display their name captured from the session variable u just created like. Or you can simply write the welcome bit and drag the session onto the page from the 'bindings' panel.
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> Hi there and welcome <%= Session("MM_Username"
%> </font id=code></pre id=code>
