Is it possible to use the member's e-mail address on the login.asp page instead of the *username* to login on the form?

Don't see why not ... though if this is a public site you'd be allowing all your member's e-mail addresses to be harvested.

I looked thru the code and it seems to be a lot of work for what I am trying to accomplish. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a legacy members only site that requires an *e-mail* and a *password* to enter the site. Once you are in the site you can go the forums without having to log again as I was able to set couple of cookies on that site that will pass the *username* and *password* to the forums. What I would like to do is the exact opposite. I want the user who goes first the forums and logs in with *username* and a *password* will be able to go to the rest of the site unchallenged. Therefore, if I can capture the e-mail of the user who goes to the forums first, I should be able to pass that in a cookie to the rest of the site. Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,

Mo

Why don't you get the email during the login process and then create the cookie?

I do not want to purden the user with 3 fields. That is *username*, *email* and *password*. It would be great if I can avoid that.

Get the email from the database, man, using the other data! During the login, you need to get username and password and match them with those in the cookie. Just get the email too!

Even easier.

In inc_header.asp change "Username" to "Username or email address" for the login box.

In inc_func_common.asp, the chkUser function change
	strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strDBNTSQLName & " = '" & ChkString(fName, "SQLString") & "' "
to
	strSql = strSql & " WHERE (" & strDBNTSQLName & " = '" & ChkString(fName, "SQLString") & "' or M_EMAIL = '" & ChkString(fName, "SQLString") & "')"


Your users should be able to enter their username or email address and password to login.

Totally untested so you may have errors.

Preliminary testing looks good.
