I am following the code in a previous thread and cannot access SQL database. See attached login.aspx and login.aspx.vb files. Database file is a simple "Users" filw with AutoID, username, email and password. What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

<%@ Page Title="Log In" Language="vb" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="false"
    CodeBehind="Login.aspx.vb" Inherits="iPesha.Login" %>

What, if any, errors are you receiving when you attempt to run this code? This might help to narrow down the specific components of the code to look at.

I'm sorry, I did my best to wade through your code but I'm not much on VB. Hopefully someone with more in-depth knowledge of VB and SessionStates will be able to toss back an answer on this one for you.

Hi! I receive no errors, just that the system kicks me back to the login page with "username" field filled.

rty this code for login it properly works for me as i updated for you.

Dim strConn As String
        strConn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("iPesha").ConnectionString
Dim Conn As New SqlConnection(strConn)
        Conn.Open()
Dim sqlUserName As String= "SELECT UserName,Password FROM Users "
cmd =new sqlCommand(sqlUserName,con)
dim dr as SqldataReader
dr=cmd.ExecuteReader()
if dr.HasRows=true then
    While(dr.Read())
       If dr(1).ToString() = username And dr(2).ToString() = pwd Then
       Session("UserAuthentication") = username
       end if
    end while
    Response.Redirect("JobSearch.aspx")
elseif dr.HasRows=False then
     Session("UserAuthentication") = ""
end if
