I have recently learned how to use MS Access database functionality within Front Page via ADO. I'm running queries and showing data an alarming rate. Now I want to allow a user to type in a name and password, which is to be matched to a table in thedatabase and then direct them to their own secret .html page (based on the data found with their name and password). Front Page does not seem to support this and I am not too keen with .ASP code at the present. Letting FP do all the work creates web-bots and other nifty resources that know how to access the database. Can anyone tell me what is involved to make this happen? If .ASP is the answer, is their common scripting? Thanks for the assistance!

Simplest way is go to Internet and look for "ASP samples", "ASP Tutorail Examples", etc for login procedures. If you want to have full control over your program it's better to do it yourself. Just create simply form and then process entered data. Just make request with username and password against SQL server (or Access Database) and if it returns data - process it where you want or if it returns empty set - process error (for example, bad password or user name).

Good luck.

Thanks. This answers the fact that FP does not have the functionality built in. Nothing but research will help me achieve this.
