Hi, I currently have a website that's build in ASP with Access DB. My database already has the username and password features for other private sections of the site.
I want to add an Online Forum and was wondering if the forum can still use the same usernames and passwords for members already created on my website?
Thanks. |

That depends on what you want to do, and would probably require some changes to your existing code, Snitz stores encrypted passwords, so you would have to use the same encryption in your own site, or write some functions to mimic the Snitz login when they login to your existing site and some scripts to copy your users from one system to the other.
It is perfectly possible, but obviously I would not encourage a novice to do so as it requires some work. |

Can I always insert and use the same stored information from the Snitz Database as a general site log in.
Meaning, when users register to my site from the general site, without doing so from the Forum section, can I insert the username and all that stuff into the same DB used by the forum? |

| You can, but you should insert all the needed values as the Snitz code does. Have a look at register.asp. Don't forget the passwords need to be encrypted before being inserted in the Snitz table. |
