Hi all. I'm trying to update two columns in a table "After Successful Login". here is what I've got.
dal.Accounts.Value("IP_Address")=Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")

dal.Accounts.Value("IP_Domain")=Request.ServerVariables("remote_host")

dal.Accounts.Update()
The reason for doing this is that we do not provide an Add/Edit page for users, just a List/View page. So we thought this a good place to capture this information.
Well, no errors (that's a good thing), but nothing gets updated.
We've checked the docs and can't get this to work. We can of course us SQL statements to do this, but we thought DAL would be easier and less cumbersome.
Can someone point us in the right direction?
btw: using eval version for the time being - just started about a week ago, so please be gentle <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=10995&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

You need to specify which record to update.

dal.UsersTable.Param("ID")=32
dal.UsersTable.Value("First Name")="Jim"
dal.UsersTable.Update()

Thanks, I added these two lines and now all is well:
dal.Accounts.Param("Login_ID")=Session("UserID")

dal.Accounts.Update()

Hi again. I'd like to ask an additional question regarding this post.
The code I am using (see above) works exactly as intended (thanks admin for the pointer).
Anyway, I wanted to check the status of a Registration Field (sql BIT field: default to ZERO [0]).
When I check the value I get an error like so: Object doesn't support this property or method
My condition is (I saw a post somewhere with something similar, but can't find it now...)
if (dal.Accounts.Value("Registered") = 0) then

...some code...

end if
I can use sql to do this, but was hoping dal would be easier.
Not criticial, but a nice to use.
Thanks.

Roger,
it doesn't work this way. To check the value of a certain field you need to retrieve it from the database first.
dal.Accounts.ID=32

set rs = dal.Accounts.FetchByID()

if rs("Registered")=0 then

...

end if
