Need some Frontpage and Login Page Help

[Bobby]

Hi i basically posted everyone on google groups trying to get some
help. I have a intranet webpage that will have some pages online the
school I work for want to be able to have there students be able to go
to our servers and download there homework and have a default html
page with there test scores and other info. Creating the HTML pages
and the server will be no problem. Here is my problem tho, I need a
login page for each grade (K-8) and now when a student enters there
name and password (which will be given by the school) they will
automatically be sent to there default index page. Now someone told me
I can just make a database using Access 2000 and enter the
userid,password, and have URLredirect in the Access 2000 Database, ok
I will do that, BUT I dont know how to connect the database and
frontpage together so that the login page can read the database. I am
mostly familiar with simple html codes. I am not a complete novice,
but then i am not a pro.
Any help would be great.

What you want to do w/ a database requires knowledge of ASP and DB connections on a Windows server supporting Access
- see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=321439

IMHO
Just Create 9 folders (one for K-8) and protect each folder w/ a single unique password
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825451
Your host will have to support subwebs and unique permissions under the FP Server Extensions
