Hi,

I'm relatively new to ASP, so please bear with me! :) I was wondering how I go about password protecting some admin pages on my site. For example, when they try to load the page, it pops up "please enter the password..." and then you are either granted or denied access.

Hopefully a simple question...

Thanks,
-Jamie

You cant have a popup in ASP requesting a password before loading the page.
What you can do is create a login page then on the restricted pages check if the user is logged in.
If you need more help just ask... Saturday 12.00

Here is a script that I'm currently using that works very well. It uses and Access table which contains the name passwords and IP addresses of everyone that will be accessing your site. You can specify where a persons can gain access by assigning them an IP address to a webpage. Check it out. All you have to do is create a table with the same names I have in bold, setup a DSN, copy and past this code into a page and your in business.

'HERE IS THE CODE TO THE FORM:


Option Explicit
Dim strError, strSQL, objRS
'see if the form has been submitted
If Request.Form(&quot;action&quot;)=&quot;login&quot; Then
'the form has been submitted

'// validate the form

'check if a username has been entered
If Request.Form(&quot;username&quot;) = &quot;&quot; Then _
strError = strError & &quot;- Please enter a username<br>&quot; & vbNewLine

'check if a password has been entered
If Request.Form(&quot;password&quot;) = &quot;&quot; Then _
strError = strError & &quot;- Please enter a password<br>&quot; & vbNewLine
