Not quite what I wanted. Maybe I should redo the whole thing based on what I really want to do: - Have a publicly available (and readable) index.php3 which includes a login section - Based on the user name, it will then display whatever pertinent information I want to serve, with, at the bottom a Log Out option that will take them back to the main index.php3 where they can login again (possibly with a different username). I don't necessarily want to make something as big and complicated that will use a user DB and all. I just want something plain and simple, which is why I started with .htaccess, but .htaccess is somewhat persistent, unless a 401 header is send (which will then popup the Authorization Failed message - blah) AMK4 -- W | | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. |____________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ashley M.
