PASSWORDor name access software? 1

[phototaker]

I want to have a password field which allows visitors to go further into my site. I found out how to create a password field but is there some simple code that I can use to allow visitors to precede when they input the right password. and prompt them to reenter if they get it wrong?Thanks Richard

[tt]DW does that for you with the Log in user server behavior.

Thanks, for the direction-I will wade through and learn about testing servers.

Can't seem to get this set up, for some reason, can't get past setting up a testing server. Any Clues or hints? or #-) or #-)

Thanks for the hint. Here is what I want to do and if you know which direction to go as I start our it may help. I have six different options I want to offer a visitor and depending on which one they choose they are sent to one of the six optional locations. There is going to be a password for each location which gives them access to the pages on that location. I would like to have the password and site location work together so that if someone chooses a location and the right password they link to the appropriate site. If they do not get the password right for that location it will prompt them to reenter the paswword. I have a book on pearl but I have not really grasp all this programming stuff yet. I think that I get the basic premise but haven't put it all together in my head yet. Here is a link to see what I am doing. Any advise would be helpful.

"sent to one of the six optional locations"
--> "Redirect Users to a Page"

"There is going to be a password for each location which gives them access to the pages on that location"
--> "Redirect After Login based on user Rights"

"If they do not get the password right for that location it will prompt them to reenter the paswword"
--->"Login Failed-- redirect user back to Login Page"

Now all there "fucntion/commands" are available based on which server/db/programming language you want to use. Personally I think you should look into server/platform type you have and then think about "how far" you want to go with this project! Is this supposed to be a database driven site or you just want to collect a few chunks of data in some form......
Look into ASP,PHP,JPS,CGI-Perl.... all these languages are connected and cross-connected to the corresponding databases behind them (eg. ASP- SQL,MS Access, FileMaker..... or PHP-- MySQL, FIleMaker...)

so....next step would be looking into what programming language is the best for you and which database would work the best for the project.
Good Luck

I just have generic data on the sites and am not planning to have this as a database retrevial. I just will want to collect some data as far as who has been visiting and probably their email address's. I know nothing about data base's but want to learn more, that stuff has never been my long suit. I am a graphics person but need to know how to make all this technology work. Thanks for the info.

Hey Richard!
I understand...my most interest was in Photography that lead into computers that lead into Networking and Administration...then I wanted to collect my photos and info so I started learning (more) databases.
Progamming is not that bad and it sounds like you do not need any extensive database in the back so I belive you will do OK.
For me, the easier learning curve was ASP+MS Access+IIS
but if you a Mac person then even easier would be CDML+ FileMaker+HTML.
if you need more help drop me a note > lebisol2@_NOSPAM_hotmail.com
good luck
