Hey!

I am creating a spot where people can redownload items if
they have access. I have everything written but the part
where people actually get to the page due to a huge
issue. So far there are 96 uniquie combinations of the 8
items they can download.

Here is the flow of my system.

Person creates a login, and in that login there is a spot
to put in a specific code for the items they need to have
access to. After that they are sent an email regarding
login location and login info.

The login site has all of the verfication to login, but i
am stuck at how to get the users to the actual page to
download due to the 94+ combos of items, (and that number
is only going to grow). Am i just screwed and this is
impossible without taking a HEAVY hit to the server or do
i need to find a program that does this?

Any help be greatly appreciated.

Without more info, I'd suggest creating 3 tables in a database.
Table1 is the Person table, which contains information about the users.
Table2 is the Download table, which contains information about the files
available for download.
Table3 is a many-to-many join table to connect table1 to table2, it contains
2 fields.

tblPeople
ID int IDENTITY
Fname varchar(50)
etc....

tblDownload
ID int IDENTITY
PrettyTitle varchar(50)
Filename varchar(255)

tblDownloadsByPeople
PersonID PK
DownloadID PK

So if I'm Person with ID number 1 and I'm allowed to download files 3,8,7
then the tblDownloadsByPeople would contain

PersonID DownloadID
1 3
1 8
1 7

Yes, great solution. I also agee with you. We can create the dynamic output
in the ASP page based on the query result. For example, the options in the
combo control. The performance is based on your server and database. I
believe SQL server is suitable for this case.
