Any ideas?The protect tag calls the MultiGroupChecker file, so you can do something very similar to [protect] by duplicating the MultiGroupChecker file and giving it a new name, then changing users.db in the new file to a different db, then calling that new file with the [include newFileName] tag instead of using the [protect] tag in your templates.But I can tell you right now, you're all worried over nothing. I have 16,000 users in my users.db and I cannot tell the difference in search speed between that 16,000 record db and a similar users.db with ONE record in it. In fact, I doubt you will notice any slowdown until your users.db gets to be WAY over 100,000 records ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome ken@iav.com 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions http://webdna.net/
