Thanks Carefree

I had a thought this morning. I am not forcing that the first and last names be filled in. If they are both blank I think your code would not accept the registration. Really hate to ask but would it be possible for you to add a check for blank name fields and let the registration proceed if both are blank.

cheers

I edited the code above to include blank name checking.

Barry,

You need to check your web server logs, to find out how they got in there. Seeing the M_DATE would allow you to know the precise time of their registration, so it's easy to use server logs to find out what's happening.

if M_LASTNAME=M_FIRSTNAME then
	'duplicate names in registration
	Response.Clear
	Response.Redirect "Register.asp"
	Response.End
end if

Ahhh - NOW I see what you meant. I thought you wanted to prevent people registering with the same names as previous registrations (so that User1 named Frank Smith couldn't re-register as User 519 named Frank Smith again. That's what I wrote the mod to preclude.

What you want is even simpler - you want to make sure that Bob Bob doesn't register.

if M_LASTNAME=M_FIRSTNAME then
	'duplicate names in registration
	Response.Clear
	Response.Redirect "Register.asp"
	Response.End
end if

if M_COUNTRY=Albania then
	'duplicate bad country in registration
	Response.Clear
	Response.Redirect "Register.asp"
	Response.End
end if

Ah, fair enough, missed that bit in your original post (a weekend of insomnia can have that effect on a guy! ) If they're not going through register.asp then you need to investigate exactly how they're managing it; there may be a vulnerability in one of your scripts, not necessarily in your forum, though, that's open to SQL injections. A good place to start would be your log files; next time it happens have a look for anything out of the ordinary.

OK that works except if the first and surname fields are blank it kicks back to registration. Since I do not know yet how to make first and surname required I need a blank check (blanks are OK) so it does not kick out.

if M_LASTNAME=M_FIRSTNAME and (M_LASTNAME<>"" or M_FIRSTNAME<>"") then
	'duplicate names in registration
	Response.Clear
	Response.Redirect "Register.asp"
	Response.End
end if
