I need a way to have a user log on to our website using his normal username and password, and be re-directed to a custom web page to view his financial information.

Do I need to use an .ASP page? Can I do it with NTFS permissions? Can I do it using his home folder? What about a logon script? I don't know! Can someone steer me in the right direction...or the right forum for this post?

Thanks,
Damon

 
Damon:

First, use web authentication to logon by checking the username and password. Once logged on, session variables should be established based on the username and password, and the user will be forwarded to a custom page (say, MyInfo.asp) based to show their financial information.

Since you have session variables, you may use a query to get his financial info from your user database, and load to MyInfo.asp page, which only he can have access to.

Hope above helped.
