    Hi!

    Depends on what kind of site your running - ASP or straight HTML? With ASP you can validate user information against a database.

    What kind of site is this?

    How about SSL (https on port 443)? You need to buy a certificate from someone like Verisign or Thawte. Then you need to set it up on the server (I believe IIS might have a wizard, or else check MSDN). Then user can access you site through https://www.yoursite.com/secure.asp and the data will be encrypted as it's sent.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    Hi Randhart,

    In ASP you can encrypt the querystring. Here is an article to get you started:
