DW MX2004 ASP Membership App

I would like to get a tutorial on how to make a membership application, specifically where a new user registers and then the record is inserted into the db but with a flag that says the membership is inactive.

It then extracts the new record from the db, emails the administrator and includes an encrypted link to a confirmation page, which when opened with the encrypted link takes the URL parameter and updates the db to make the user 'active'. It then should email the new member telling them that their membership is now active.

I would like this to be based around existing the server behaviours, but I also have a few 3rd party ones (incl. Ultrasuite) so don't mind if they are used. I want to make sure that I am not leaving myself open to SQL injection attacks.

Thks.

Moving a web app from Win98/PWS to XPPro/IIS

Hi All - I'm in desperation here!! 4 months' development has just hit a brick wall

 

Using Dreamweaver MX and MS Access I have put together a web application using ASP VB Script.

 

When building this app, I was using a machine with Windows 98 and PWS. I am trying to move this application onto a machine running Windows XP Pro and IIS 5.1.

 

I have set up the DSN of the access database and copied all the ASP files into a virtual directory. When I run the application though I get a number of different errors:

 

1. I get an Access driver error stating that the driver could not use ‘unknown’; the file is already in use.
2. I cannot access all of my pages, I keep getting undefined errors on different pages. This seems to be totally random as I can open one page by clicking a link, follow another ‘back’ link back to the first page, then try to open the same page again and it will fail!
3. When I do get some of the pages to work, none of the scripts I have written to update/ insert/ delete the database will run. I get a message like ‘must use an updateable query’. All these scripts are done using the standard Dreamweaver Insert/ Update/ Delete behaviours.

 

I am assuming that these problems are to do with either IIS and not having set up the correct privileges to run these scripts, or the DSN not being set up properly, or the way the connection is set up in Dreamweaver not working properly. It seems strange that it all runs perfectly on my old laptop, but this new machine has loads of problems.

 

Can anyone offer me any advice as to what I may be doing wrong, or a tutorial to show me how to set up IIS properly to do this?

 

Any help at all is gratefully received. I need to get this sorted as soon as I possibly can because my customer needs to be up and running this week!!!!!!

 

Thanks
