hi,
When I add a new user, the database only seems to overwrite the previous user and l only have one record in the database - l'm using microsoft access xp and have typed the adduser.asp from the wrox beginning asp 3 book and also downloaded adduser.asp from the wrox site and neither seem to update the database,

below is the adduser.asp code that l'm using;

<%
  Dim rsUsers
  Set rsUsers = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
  rsUsers.Open "Person", objConn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable

  If Session("PersonID") <> "" Then ' currently logged-on user
    rsUsers.Filter = "PersonID = '" & Session("PersonID") & "'"
  Else ' New session
    rsUsers.Filter = "EMailAddress = '" & Request.Form("email") & "'" & _
                     "AND Password = '" & Request.Form("password") & "'"
    If rsUsers.EOF Then ' User not found
      rsUsers.AddNew ' ...so add a new record
' Else
' Email address and password matched with DB records -
' In this case we'll allow this to update user's personal details
    End If
  End If
                                                  ' write personal details to record
  rsUsers("EMailAddress") = Request.Form("email")
  rsUsers("Password") = Request.Form("password")
  rsUsers("FamilyName") = Request.Form("FamilyName")
  rsUsers("GivenName") = Request.Form("GivenName")
  rsUsers("StreetAddress1") = Request.Form("Address1")
  rsUsers("StreetAddress2") = Request.Form("Address2")
  rsUsers("City") = Request.Form("City")
  rsUsers("State") = Request.Form("State")
  rsUsers("PostalCode") = Request.Form("PostalCode")
  rsUsers("Country") = Request.Form("Country")
  rsUsers("Active") = True
  rsUsers("LastLogin") = Now
  rsUsers.Update ' update the database




  Dim strName, strValue ' create session variables
  For each strField in rsUsers.Fields
    strName = strField.Name
    strValue = strField.value
    Session(strName) = strValue
  Next
  Session("blnValidUser") = True ' declare that current user is validated
  Response.Redirect "MenuForRegisteredUsers.asp"
%>


can anyone help as l'm at a loss on this one.

many thanks

Whats the code for the form that you are taking the information from? I had a similar problem to this yesterday and found that, after many hours of checking the asp code against another page of mine, it turned out to be that I had missed off the 'method = "post"' from the <form> tag.
