ASP VBScript , Remote_User server variable, and Access DB

Question

I need to recreate some ASP pages that were orginally created
in MS FrontPage once upon a time.
I have a table in an Access DB that contains the user's login
ID. I need to pull the date the user completed a quiz at the end of
a web training module.
My connection looks OK, b/c I can pull other info. I can pull
the quiz completion date if I put in my login ID. The login ID is
called Email in the DB and the completion date is called Time.
This works:
SELECT [Time]
FROM QuizComplete
WHERE Email = 'OCSP/BUTLER_A' AND QuizID = 109
How do I change the WHERE Email so it filters by the Server
Variable Remote_User?
Thanks!

That means it not finding a record with the remote_user that
matches.

As a test, create a blank page and put
<%=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_USER")%> on it and
then display the
page in your browser. You will see what is returned so you
can then
double check your database. If you get nothing back, then
your IIS
server isn't configured properly, or you are using a browser
that
doesn't use your authenticated login from your domain
controller.
Firefox needs to have your servers names added to a special
section in
advanced options for this to work, IE does it by default,
Safari can't
do it at all and Opera will prompt for your username and
password.
