texte = Hi Nathan You can set up secure areas by including code like this on every page that needs protection (see below). On every page that needs it, include the below code with the [include] tag. Pass is a value for the 'IncomingGroupRq' variable. See the docs if you don't know how to pass var's value when including. e.g.: (to protect a page that only admin should see) [include file= CustomProtect.inc&IncomingGroupRq=admin] e.g.: (to protect a page that only YOU should see) [include file= CustomProtect.inc&IncomingGroupRq=webmaster] (and you can make as many groups as you want in case there is a 3rd or 4th type of people/access you want to set up... then just add more records to that db and change the value for 'IncomingGroupRq'.) The value for [IncomingGroupRq] should be the group of people that you want to have access. E.g. in your MyCustom-access.db you may have 4 records. 3 of them have "admin" as a value for the 'IncomingGroupRq' field. The 4th record has "webmaster" for that value. Here might be the contents of this MyCustom-access.db : ----- TheUser

But the code I give here is still reliable.
