i had the same problem.

to my knowledge (im not at my development pc right now) the if statement doesnt like retrieving records from a db and comparing it to a form value.

try making vars of the two that you want to compare, then if it.

not sure if it would work

Hello mate,

Having a similar problem myself. The equivelant code works in PHP but ASP doesn't want to know. Did you figure it out in the end?

Cheers
