Firstly, as David mentioned, if the user is not allowed to access the page then the link shouldn't be there in the first place. If there is no link then there is no need to refresh the page or generate an error or anything. If you really want to you can have the link but instead of an href to the page you would replace it with a Javascript alert saying "access denied". But thats beside the point because if they enter the restricted page into the address bar directly it also has to deny them access. You should write a script that checks the users credentials and then include it at the top of EVERY page. If the user can no be validated then an access denied message is displayed. Even better, if a user cannot be validated then you can redirect them back to where they came from (referrer). That would effectively achive your goal by refreshing the original page no matter where they;re coming from. Leo
