Is it possible to validate a registration field with data from a non DNN Database?  I have all the application data in a different database than the DNN data.

Thanks.

Well.. yes but not easily. There is a SQL Validation routine per field that you can use to validate against it. Unfortunatly this is still going to use the same database as DNN.

Two questions...
1. Is the database you need to validate against on the same SQL Server? If so with the right permissions you can access it such as 'Select * from MyOtherDatabase.DBO.YourTable' even from the DNN database.

2. Is the database you need to validate against on a different SQL Server? If so google 'MS SQL Linked Servers' and you can setup a link between the two servers and still query against it from the DNN database / server.
