I realise this is probably simple, but EVERYTHING based on similar questions/answers in forum archive I have tried have failed.
I have a login and logout link(s) in my header.
I want to hide the logout link when a user is not logged in, and show logout / hide login when they are logged in. I am using CCS 2.2.2.40, ASP, with Win2k
After 50 attempts, this was my last one:
Dim Connection1
Dim HideLinks
Set Connection1 = New clsDBConnection1
Connection1.Open
HideLinks = CCDLookUp("Name","UserCode","User_ID="&CCGetUserID(), Connection1)
If HideLinks = "" Then
Logout.Visable = False
Else
Logout.Visable = True
Connection1.Close
Set Connection1 = Nothing
End if
Absolutely no joy - I get "property not available" for Logout.Visable = False
I then get "Connection1 not a variable"
Would really appreciate any help on this
Thanks in advance

Let's start with fixing the spelling error. Please change "Visable" to "Visible" and see what happens.
Please make sure that you change this everywhere in your code - I see it in 3 places.

Thx Peter,
As silly as I feel for those typos - they were not in my code (only in my hasty re-type here).
I have since tried a new more simple approach with mixed results:
Function Header_BeforeShow() 'Header_BeforeShow @1-864E5C27
'Custom Code @12-73254650
' -------------------------
If Session("UserID")= "" Then
Header.Logout.Visible = False
Else
Header.Logout.Visible = True
End if
' -------------------------
'End Custom Code
End Function 'Close Header_BeforeShow @1-54C34B28
What happens here is when I am not logged in - the Logout (label) still appears on the header page, but holding my mouse over the link shows the link (URL) has disappeared (in the browser status bar).
ie: http://localhost/myproject/
When I log in the Logout label is still visible, but the URL is back !???
ie: http://localhost/myproject/index.asp?Logout=True
btw, my Logout link is a Form Link - does this make a difference?
dazed and confused...

If "Logout" is a Link and a part of it disappears then it's possible that everything probably works as it should. You may only need to right-click on your Link, select "Edit Link ..." option, then set the "Extended HTML" option.
If "Logout" is a Label (or you want to make it a Label) then you shouldn't need to make it Visible or not, just specify:
If Session("UserID")<> "" Then Header.Logout.Value = "http://www.something..."

Bubba,
I have had a similar problem with a Hello "loginname" message in the =
header - it says Please log in when not logged in and uses a "hello =
Login Name" when they are logged in.
I'm not sure if it was the right approach but I had to put a DB =
connection ( I actually use a form with a hidden field in it that has =
real data in it) in to the main page ie; the default.asp page (and all =
others that didnt have any forms on them) - every time I tried to just =
have the connection in the header page it just wouldnt work and I =
received the kind of errors you are getting here. It works fine of =
course if the page had a form with a DB connection in it.
So my code is this - I have a Label in the header page called "Welcome" =
and This code placed as a "Before Show" custom code
header.Welcome.Value =3D "Welcome, please login to use the service"
If Session ("UserID") >=3D1 then header.Welcome.Value =3D "Hi " & =
(CCDLookUp("user_first_name", "all_user", "user_ID=3D" & =
CCGetUserID(),DBConnection1))& ", welcome to the service"
DB=3D "Connection1"
User Table =3D "all_user"
Users name =3D "user_first_name"
User ID =3D "User_ID"
Good luck=20
