Hello all,
If I would like to have a consumer services section wherein the user would register a username and password, and that person gets registered into the database, and a cookie goes into their computer to remember their username and password, also a sessionID to drag that username accross pages within the site.
How hard would this be to implement and how long do you think it would take?
The reason I want to do this is if someone registers a product, in the DB he/she has their own custID, if on another they register another toy, rather than having another custID, keep the same one.
Is this a good way for them to have the same custID, or is there another way for me to do this?
Thanks
Registering a username and session-ing it!

Thats probably the best way to do it, either that or use sessions instead of cookies. There are many tutorials and scripts on the internet about user login systems.

Excellent, however my backend would be SQL Server.
One question however, if I have already an access database with many entries, but no custID, username of password, and also many mail-in warranties, how would I fix that? I want every user to have their own custID without one day having two of them.
So with that in mind, what would I do with the access database, and also we still have many mail-in warranties many without email addresses.
Also to keep in mind is that we will continue to receive mail-in warranties, so they wouldn't get a username and password.
I would appreciate any help or advice that anyone would be so kind to give.
Thanks
