I've heard about the rebranding of FrontPage but you infer two separate
instances?

Well, Clinton, you said it yourself. While one *could* *indirectly* get
the information *through* ASP, it would require ASP.Net to actually
retrieve the information and then pass it off to ASP. Of course, this
negates the necessity or usefulness of employing ASP at all, since in
either case, ASP.Net is required. Therefore, I answered according to
logic. I was not interpreting the question as hypothetical, but as
practical. Hypothetically, one could employ ASP *in conjunction with
other technologies* to do virtually anything, but it would be a mere
intellectual exercise. For all practical purposes, the capabilities of
ASP are highly limited, particularly when there are other technologies,
such as ASP.Net, which is the underlying technology used in SharePoint
web sites, which can do it without any assistance whatsoever.

I do agree that the newsgroup you posted is the correct place to get
information about this. In fact, SharePoint is such a specialized
technology that Microsoft is splitting FrontPage into 2 separate
development tool kits, one of which is solely for SharePoint.

I don't know why Kevin Spencer is so single minded on this issue because
its correct that ASP can not be used to grab the UserID "directly" but if
you have access to the SharePoint WebPart that does the form validation
(which you confirm you do) the use of ASP.NET can be used to capture and
hand-off the values involved to an ASP application "indirectly." You need
ASP.NET code to grab the values during the login and write to a temporary
table or an XML file where the ASP application can pick it up and do
something with it.

This can also pose a security risk by exposing a user's ID but on an
Intranet the risks are easier to minimalize. What approach to use is
philosophical at the moment. It seems your planning to migrate your ASP
applications to ASP.NET anyway so why not just wait or get busy on the
migration now?

In any event, I have SharePoint on a disk that I haven't had installed
for over 6 months as I've downsized from Windows Server 2003 to XP Pro
for the ASP.NET development I'm involved with (for the time being) and I
could not answer any further questions regarding the specific
implementation which would best be discussed in the SharePoint newsgroup

Ok. We will be upgrading to .NET very soon. How do I go about it with
ASP.NET?

Actually, the answer is yes -- indirectly -- which does not
contradict
Kevin's response because doing so depends on a couple of fundamental
factors, the first of which depends on whether SharePoint is being
hosted
so a web developer can access the SharePoint WebPart controls and
the
second whether you have a healthy bank account to make it happen.

I have SharePoint handling logins to a secured subweb. Is there a
way to
determine in ASP what ID the user has logged in with?

(I'm using ASP - not .NET)
