My web server doesn't support databases or anything like that. It will simply return the code and give visitors a line error. There are certain areas that I need to be able to use user id's. I noticed that on the database wizard, you can put a user id and password. This DID work. Anyone know how I can do this for multiple users and if it is secure? Please e-mail me if you know!! (e-mail address removed)

Thanks in advance!

You can't use the FP database component unless you are hosted on a Windows
IIS server and can run ASP.

How do you reconcile:
"My web server doesn't support databases"
with
"I noticed that on the database wizard, you can put a
user id and password. This DID work."

If you have a Windows server and need only a few,
prearranged accounts, you can create Windows accounts on
the server and then configure Windows security so that
only those accounts have access to a subweb of secured
pages. Ton configure this, open your live Web, then choose
Server from the Tools menu, then choose Permissions.

If you have a Windows server want visitors to self-
register, you'll need to develop your own self-
registration system, or purchase one from a third party.
Developing a self-registration system isn't terribly
difficult, but does require ASP or ASP.NET skills.

If you have a non-windows server, you may be able to use
the Self-Registration component that comes with FrontPage.
Otherwise, you'll need to develop something in PHP, Perl,
J2EE or whatever, or find a third-party product.
