Password protect logon database

G

Guest

I have followed the guidelines in knowledgebase article
825498 "How to create a password-protected web page...."
to create a secure area to my website.

This works fine but I now want to password protect my
access database however if I do this I am no longer able
to access my secure pages. I have used the example
scripts in the knowledgebase article with only minor
changes for cosmetic purposes.

Do I need to add something to the script to allow for a
password-protected database or can I not password-protect
it.

I noticed a reference to username and password in the
sample logon.inc file and added my database password but
this has not helped.

Can anybody suggest how I can achieve a password-
protected database?

Thanks

Why would you need to password-protect your database? It should be somewhere
in your web that it cannot be downloaded from. This can be done with web
server virtual directory permissions, or with web server MIME type
restrictions.

Hi Kevin

A fair comment. I suppose I was just trying to be extra safe. The database
is stored in a secure folder so perhaps I should leave well alone.
