texte = Hi Kenneth! I think you are missing my point. Specifically, I want my customer to be able to add and delete dealers as needed from a database that protects info in the web site. I don't want my customer to be able to modify any other user accounts outside of their domain, nor do I really want to give them access to the admin group. Tha't why I think a subusers.db for a given website would be a good solution, don't you?Brian B.
