I retrieve a password from my database and set Session("Password").

Later, in my OnClick event, I try to compare the password that the user enetered on the form to Session("Password"). I get "Error on Page". I know Session("Password") contains the correct value because I display it BEFORE the onlick event is called. But it is not accessible from within the OnClick event. Is my timing off? How do I do this???

Thanks in advance!

Sub btnSubmit_OnClick()
  ' Check for password change
  If Len(frmAdd.Password.value) > 0 then
    If (frmAdd.Password.value <> Session("Password")) then
      Alert("The password that you entered does not match our files. Please correct.")
      frmAdd.Password.focus
      Exit Sub
    End if
End Sub

You're mixing client side and server side code. Sessions live on the server, while the OnClick will fire in the browser. To do what you want to do, either submit the page to the server and compare there, or send the value of the Session variable to the client, like this:

If (frmAdd.Password.value <> '<%=Session("Password")%>') then

IMO, storing passwords in client side code is not really a good and secure idea, so maybe you're better off posting to the server.....
