hi..i am trying to make a login page and i am using access
table..
when the user enters his userid and password i want to
check the password from the table..

if any user with the userID that is entered exists i want
to find the correspoding password for him else i want to
throw an error saying no such user exists..

i know how to access the MS Access table and stuff..but
now what i want to do is to take the userid and see if
there is any userid such as the one existing, and if there
is i want to take out the password for that user ID..

what i am trying to do is as below.

The prob is, once i get the data in the dataset, how do i
take out the password??

i mean is there is any way i can assign the derieved
password to strPwd???
<code>
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdFilter.Click

Dim strUserID As String = txtUserID.Text
Dim strPwd as string
Dim conn As OleDbConnection
Dim dsn As String =
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")

conn = New OleDbConnection(dsn)

Try
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select
[Password] from Customer where UserID ='" & strUserID
& "'", conn)

Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "Customer")
'@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

DATASET?????????????
'HOW TO ASSIGN THE PASSWORD IN THE DATASET
TO STRING strPwd???????
'strPwd = ???????????????
'@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

End Try
End Sub
</code>

This is a classic asp newsgroup. While you may be lucky enough to find a
dotnet-savvy person here who can answer your question, you can eliminate the
luck factor by posting your question to an appropriate group. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. (the key word is dotnet)
