Default http post from excel - user authentication from excel to web

Hi,

Look for Microsoft's WinHTTP Services.

I've posted some code that uses this library before.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi

I am trying to build in authentication to my excel spreadsheet - the idea is
that a user will type in their username and password and that information
gets posted to an asp page which authenticates them against a database and
returns a +OK or -ER and based on that value I either let them continue or
not. Is something like this possible?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

thanks
Bruce
