Password Protect Database

[Tanya]

I've created a database driven web site that creates a database from a form that the user inputs. I would like to make sure that no one is able to access the database results page. I'm using an ASP and need to password protect the results page???

You should be able to right click on the particular file or on
the folder that the file is contained in, and then modify the
attributes there, to prevent people from browsing the item.

You can create such an unbrowsable folder and create the
results page in that folder. If it's just .asp code in the results
page, that would be an effective approach to prevent people
from viewing the file.

Hi Tanya,

The results page being a FP DRW? If so you'll either have to have the ISP / WPP set permissions on the page or get your hands dirty
and change the code in the DRW to verify a logon / password.
