 Happy Holidays to all....
I have a very wierd problem....
I have several catalogs and in all of them the userdb login works
perfectly.....i didnt changed it much from the simple demo.
In a new catalog i am developing, the userdb login works, but only when a
user exists....if the user doesnt exists i get an Internal Server Error
(500)....when i check the error log I get:

.../cgi-bin/catalog5/process Runtime error: Username does not exist


The thing i dont understand is that all the other catalogs work even if the
user doesnt exist.....obvious, if the users doesnt exist, there is no login,
but i dont get the dreaded Internal Server Error....
I copied the same code from the other catalogs that work, and nothing.......
Please, can someone help me with this? I dont think this is the usual
error....and i dont have a clue, but i do have a dateline.....monday 27  :-(

The code im using (the same for all, but in this particular catalog i get
the error described above):

[set Log]
[userdb login]
[/set]
    <FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_click VALUE="Log">
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_doit  VALUE="return">
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="index">

Please HELP!
