    Creating URL's in VB Script?

    Hello,

    I heard you can generate an encrypted username / password along with a possible SQL Server 2000 query all concatenated into one long URL in VB Script?

    Do you have any beginner to advanced code to get me started?

    Thanks!

    Chris

    No, URL should not be used to perform SQL query, that will leave ope to you all sorts of security problem. The most common one being the SQL Injection attack. Also not a good idea to encrypt password and pass it becasue as you will be encryting the password in client side that means user will be able to decrypt it if they have the soruce page.

    Only secure way to transfer password is if you use one way Hash function such as MD5.

    Look into ASP (Vbscript) you can perform sql query serverside.

    Here is a good place to start for ASP.

    Also look at 4guysfromrolla.com thats a good resources.

    Hope this helps.
