designing a login feature

J

Jen

I'd like to make one of the pages on a web site accessible
only to users who have a login. (I can either hard-code
the UserIDs and passwords or put them in an Access
database.)

I'm fairly new to FrontPage and am just wondering what the
simplest way is to go about this. I do know Java ... do I
need to write an applet? Or is there some way to do this
in FrontPage without additional coding?

To see how it works, import a small database to
the site; the import wizard will put it in folder fpdb.

Then use File | New | Website, and choose the
database interface, Add to current web.

Follow the wizard, and choose to add a data editor,
which requests username/password.

When you get to the end, study the 4 files that
the wizard produces that begin with "login".

You might even think about hacking those files
to do what you want.
