Sorry, never mind the question. I wasn't thinking. Just a simple if statement at the top works fine. Kevin

hi, i've been trying to figure out how to restrict different users to certain paths of my website once they have logged in. the website is for an intranet that has 3 separate locations, and basically what i need is to allow some users access to only one location's pages, while other users may...
