Members Area

Quite a simple request really that has been addressed before, but I need some
advice.

I have a website which will have a Members Only area. The users will 'join'
the website by filling in a form, including Username and Password, which
passes the data to an Access databse.

When they login I want them to be presented with a prompt for name/password,
and when they submit this info I want it to interrogate the Access database
for the info. If successful it allows them in, if not then they receive an
error message.

I take it that I need to setup a subsite which is not a problem, I just want
to know how to get the link between the login prompt and the Access database.

Thanks for the help, but I am still having problems. If I create it as the
examples say then it works ok, but I want to be able to use an Access
database that is already created on the site, and contains additional info
relating to name, address etc as well as the username and password fields.

The site in question is www.sportspersons-reunited.com and I have created
the pages as part of the main root web.

Any more suggestions?

And?
Just add the field from the KB to your DB and change the code to use your DB name

Points 5a and 5b both say to create a file called default.asp and store it in
the root web. The two files are different so it is not posisble to have them
both called default .asp

Name the file in 5b as unsecure.asp
