Just a few notes on set up and configuration for these programs.
1) Site Layout. The way it is current configured, I planned on these modules going into a web folder and being able to reference everything via VIRTUAL include files. (This of course meaning if you say "/DIRECTORY_NAME" it will start at the beginning of your URL. i.e. http://www.eckelkamp.com/DIRECTORY_NAME) If you are a subdomain or you are not able to put my files at the root of your site, you will have to change all of the include files and database connections.
2) Datebase Connection. Right now I have a database called: Module.mdb which has all the tables needed in it. If you wanted to include these tables into your own database you will need to change the variable "gStrConn" in most of the ASP pages.
3) Login/Timeout. The default timeout length is 20 minutes. You are able to change this time by editing the file "Checklogin.inc". This is 20 minutes of not going from one page to another. Not neccesarily inactivity (like a screen saver operates like).
4) To cancel Login/Timeout script you can simply type in "blnCheckLogin = true" directly after the line that calls the checklogin scripts ("blnCheckLogin = CheckLogin()"). You will need to set "blnCheckLogin" to true before it does the "If blnCheckLogin = false then" logic.
5) I have thoroughly tested these modules, but of course I might have missed something, so please let me know so I can fix it, and improve it for everyone else who is using it!
6) Any comments are always welcome. Don't forget to look at the help file before getting too frustrated!
7) I will try to offer as much email tech support as I can, so feel free to email me with any questions or problems you might have.
8) By using this software, you are doing so at your own risk and you can not hold Mike Eckelkamp, his program, or any associates of his at fault for anything that might happen. (However, I would like to know, and I might have a quick fix for it :))
Thank you and enjoy these programs! Happy Programming!
