Hi Everyone,

I did a search on VDSWorld and found some password code that does work for prompting a customer for a password. What can I add to this code to give the customer three attempts at typing in the correct password before it ends?

Title Xform
%%password = password
if @not(@equal(@input(Enter Password To Login.,,PASSWORD),%%password))
info UNAUTHORIZED LOGIN ATTEMPT!!! - Program Terminated
exit
end

I did this and it continues to prompt but it is not the solution I was going for:

Title Xform
:repeat
%%password = password
if @not(@equal(@input(Enter Password To Login.,,PASSWORD),%%password))
info Password Incorrect. Login Failed.
goto repeat
exit
end

Any Suggestions ?



Thanks

Very Cool Aslan,

The code you provided works great. Just what I was aiming at to get to work. I did switched around the order for end exit to exit end. It would not work the other way.

By the way. When the customer clicks Cancel Instead of OK after entering the correct or incorrect password is there a way for the code to exit rather than to go to the next attempt?

Thank you from a struggling VDS newbi.

Thanks

Hey back at you Dr. Dread,

Your suggestion worked out great. I knew there must have been a way to make it work but just could not figure it out in my head and limited experience with VDS.

Thanks
