Currently I have an application with a signon screen where the user inputs 
logon id and password.  I then validate this against an Oracle table 
entry.  There is one Oracle ID and password assigned to my app.  Now the 
DBA is creating an Oracle id and password that matches each of my user id 
and passwords.  This works fine as long as the userid and password are 
correct.  However, when either the id or password are wrong I get:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e4d' 

[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01017: invalid 
username/password; logon denied 

I am getting the error on the connection open command:

     set DBConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")	
     DBConn.Open ODBCDSN, dbuser, dbpass

How do trap this error and redisplay my entry screen with the appropriate 
message?

Thanks.

There are lots of options :-)

VBScript has an inbuilt Error object that you can use:

<%
On Error Resume Next
    ' Attempt to open connection

    If Err.Number <> 0 then
        ' Error occured
    End If

On Error Goto 0
%>

The ADO Connection object has a built in Errors collection you can use as
well:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ado270/htm/
mdcolerrors.asp

Alternatively, if you have IIS v5, you can use the built-in ASPError object
(using .GetLastError) to handle all 500 errors (look at the custom
500-100.asp error handler that is supplied with IIS to see how it all
works - you just create your own .asp page with similar code)

Cheers
Ken
