User specific download.

Ok so i'm not a web designer but I have be handed the company's website to look after, it's crap and I'm working on a new one but in the mean time I still have to maintain what we have.

I needed a user specific download page stating three or four different download options, with the ones they can't access greyed out. To do this I intend on adding an extra column to the _private database which states which they can and can't access and then using this asp code

<%If Session("id")="XXX" Then
  Server.Execute("yes.asp")
Else%>
 !
<%End If%>

I just need to decided on exectuing the code from another file or including it as a txt and then replace the id for what ever column I like, or something to that effect.

I know this isn't a) the best or b) the most secure method but thats what i'm using for the time being until I can actually learn .asp

  1. Hmm, not so sure this will work now. The script never actually saves the data from the DB it saves it from the user inputed form.
