I have a new responsibility - building some sort of a network that would allow users to access data on by username/password.
I have considered using vpn but don't know much about it.
Now I am considering creating a intranet portal but my biggest question is how to create folders in an intranet portal, create usernames and passwords to users to access that data contained those folders.
Creating a shared network would have been useful but the company does not have one.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

A shared network isn't to difficult to set up. Depending on how many people will access your page you can go with access database, then just check to see if the user name and password match from a form submission.

This tutorial on my website will teach you how to set up a db and then you can go on to the select tutorial, which shows how to get data from the database...

Then you can just check it..

If rs(&quot;username&quot <> Request.Form(&quot;username&quot then
Response.Redirect(&quot;error.asp&quot
Response.end

Else

If rs(&quot;password&quot <> Request.Form(&quot;password&quot then
Response.Redirect(&quot;error.asp&quot
Response.End

Else

Sessions(&quot;loggedin&quot = True
Response.Redirect(&quot;member.asp&quot

End if

End if



member.asp

If Session(&quot;loggedin&quot <> True then
Response.Redirect &quot;login.asp&quot;
Response.End
End if

...

if I helped.

thanks snowboardr:
I don't think I made myself clear enough.
I know how to create usernames/logins.
What I don't know is how to create a directory within an intranet portal so that users I created from various departments within the organization can access their folders, check them in and out.

To create a folder you do this

<%

Dim fso2
Set fso2 = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot


Set fld = fso2.createfolder(&quot;F:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\folder_name\&quot;)

%>

but im not sure what else you are looking for, just woke up.
