Hi,
I'm trying to password protect a "backroom" lounge for our students. I have
a Access file set up, and I've tried the connection Wizard.
BUT the website always prints out the entire list of students and their
passwaords, instead of clearing anyone!!!
Oh, no! That can't be good. NOT only does the Password protections, as I
have created it, not work; but it prints our all the names and their
passowrds! Ack!
Any idea what this newbie is doing wrong? It's got to be something simple,
it almost works. Just an option or something I'm not filling in correctly.

Lani,

Create a sub-web. Only a sub-web can be password protected. Your web hosting
company must allow sub-webs.
Click on Help for directions. They are extensive.

Mahalo nui Chuch,

I'll try that today!

Wouldn't it be brand to have it actually work?

Lani
 
Aloha Chuch, or whoever wants to respond.

I got the file folder converted into a subweb, appearently, but I can't
access "permissions" as under the TOOLS menue, the "Server" button is grayed
out.

How do I activate this button?

Lani
 
You have to be online with the server and the host has to allow you to set
permissions that way.
 
If you are trying to control student access to pages based on the users names / passwords in the Access Database you would not use a
subweb w/ unique permissions
To use the DB see

Thanks Stefan, Bob and Chuck!

One of the articles you gave me the URL for seems possiblt to do. I'm not
sure, but maybe. And I'm certainly going to try!

Hey...

Anything more you can point me to would be grand, Mahalo nui.

So close, but no banana!

I can get to the logon page now, but then it fails, and says:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e37'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine
cannot find the input table or query 'tblUsers'. Make sure it exists and that
its name is spelled correctly.

/logon/_private/logon.inc, line 37

Any idea what this means, and what I need to do about it?

Lani -the confused and clueless ojn these matters, so far
 
Did you create the DB according to the instructions
- using same location (path), same DB name, and same table name in the DB?

In logon.inc they are defined by:

' Define the name of the users table
Const USERS_TABLE = "tblUsers"
' Define the path to the logon database.
Const MDB_URL = "/logon/_private/logon.mdb"

Aloha, thanks for helping.

I'm not sure, I don't have Access (its on order now), so my girlfriend, who
uses that ptogram all day at work, made it according to the instructions I
gave her.

She'll check it again tonight.

The instructions in that MS sheet almost worked! One of the instructions
seems to be a typo on the naming of the pages. There are two "default" and no
"home".

So I'll go over all the code again. I don't actually understand it, of
course, but I can tell if something points to bad path I may have made!

BUT I'm two steps further down the line! It intercepts requests for the
secure page, and asks for username and password. No matter what is entered,
you get a 404, but hey! That's progress isn't it?

Welpers,

This isn't working.

I've gotten further because of the help you three gave me, but it still
doesn't work.

I think I need one of those support people, familiar with Passweord
Protection, and who has the ability to look at my screen.

I did it a year or so ago, now I can't seem to find them.

How do I find someone who can help AND has the ability to see my screen and
files of his/her computer?
