Yes!Instead of using the code exactly as I wrote it above, simply change [thisurl] to the path to the page you want your user to login on. Then when he/she enter a new and different (and correct) Username & Password in the browser's dialog box, the user will immediately see the login page. Remember, the login page must have a[protect] tag in it, and the new values the user enters into the Browser's authenticate box will have to be valid for the group named in the [protect] tag.What's even better is that if your login page has a [search] context in it that performs a search based on the Username or Password values cached by the browseer, that search will retrieve that user's records instantly ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
