texte = I do use the page protection stuff, but it doesn't cover all cases. All my vendors use my Virtual Business Center application that I wrote in WebCat and they all get/have to use the same templates to manage their web presence on my servers. they only way to identify what data is to be shown on the page is something like a company ID and some other identifiers. The page protection has to let them all in to the same pages so it is of no use for this function. I don't want one vendor to suss out how to look like someone else. Name and password doesn't cut it as some people manage more than one account. You have your way, and I have mine. This uses less code and bandwidth. There are other ways to skin a cat sometimes. :)ml> >I use it to keep people from hacking into sensitive areas and to keep vendors in their own areas. > >Doesn't webcat's page-level protection scheme work properly for you?
