I think maybe some additional information is needed but I'll give you a description of how I think I would approach this with my current understanding of the problem.

This was not mentioned in the above so the following assumes that the user (Member and Admin) information is stored in a SQL table.

Since both members and Admins must log in, I would use one login page. In the user information table I would use a boolean flag denoting whether a user is an Admin or a Member. If there are additional types of users you would want to use a seperate table linked by an integer value to the user information table.

When a user logs in check to see if the boolean flag for "Admin" is true. If it is redirect to "AdminLogin.aspx " else redirect to "Default.aspx ".

Let me know if I missed the point.

Hi,
Thanks for replying fast. I need to have two login pages with default pages for each.I want the AdminLogin.aspx to direct to AdminDefault.aspx. This page has access to certain facilities not available to a member. Also I am coding the the password and user name in the form for AdminLogin.aspx. For the members login page that is , Login.aspx I am checking the passwords from the database and then directing it to Default.aspx which has limited facilities. I will appreciate your prompt reply. Thank you.

To direct to another page for the members you can do:

Response.Redirect("Default.aspx")

and the same for the Admins, only a different page.

Hi,
Where do I code Response.redirect(AdminDefault.aspx)
I have written the following code in AdminLogin.aspx:


<script language=&quot;C#&quot; runat=server>
void AdminLogin_Click(Object Src, EventArgs E)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
if(txtAdminEmail.Text ==&quot;master@bondo.ca&quot; && txtAdminPwd.Text == &quot;secret&quot
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage
(txtAdminEmail.Text,false);
else
lblAdminLoginMsg.Text = &quot;Invalid Login. Please Try again.&quot;;
}
}
</script>

The .NET framwork provides form based authentication built in. heres a google search result...

There are some really good resources with tutorials for setting this up. By using different web.config files for different directories you can specify differing permissions, users and credentials and login pages for the directories. All ongoing identity management is handled by the framework and there are lots of handy features like atoumatically redirecting to the requested page from the login page on completion.
