I´m relative new to webdesigning and Frontpage (2002) but i have done pretty
well (if you ask me...). My website will include subpages for my employees
with internal info for the company, theese pages should be protcted by a
password. My webhotel (server supplier) will support me with a password. On
the internal pages i would like to have a field and button and when the right
password are typed i would like an action that automatically leads the user
to the internal site. Any suggestions?

This depends greatly on how your host's password protection system works.

Typically, each visitor would need a separate password, and the visitor's
identity would show up in some variable that program code running on the
server could access. You would then write server-based code that tested that
variable and redirected to the page you want.

Depending on what kind of server the host is running, you would typically
write this code in ASP.NET, ASP, or PHP.
