I have frontpage 2002 and would like to have one page of my website
restricted to viewing by using a password. I can't figure out how to do
this. Anyone know how to do this?

Zee,
I'm using FP 2003 which is very similar. Help returned this:
About restricting access to a Web site
Show All
Hide All
Important To restrict access to a Web site, the following must be
true:

a.. You must have access permissions to create a subsite (subsite: A
named subdirectory of a Web site that is also a complete site. A subsite can
have unique administration, authoring, and browsing permissions.) in a Web
site.
b.. Your Web site must be hosted on a server running FrontPage
Server Extensions (FrontPage Server Extensions: A set of programs and
scripts that support authoring in FrontPage and extend the functionality of
a Web server.) from Microsoft, SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, or
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. If the Server option appears dimmed
and is unavailable from the Tools menu, it is likely that your site is not
on a server running one of these technologies or products.
Contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)
(ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as
electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are
multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited
to a specific region.) to find out about your access permissions and your
server.

If you have the right permissions and your server has the right
technology or product, you can control who accesses your Web site and what
level of access permissions each user has. For example, you can allow
specific users to have read-only permission on your Web site. Or, you may
want certain users to be able to add content to existing document libraries
and lists, and other users to customize pages in the Web site. You can even
allow one or more users full control (administrator permissions) of your Web
site.

Brief overview of how you restrict access
You must configure the site or subsite to use unique permissions and
then, by using site groups or roles, you specify which users can browse, add
content to, or administer your Web site.

By default, all subsites inherit the same permission settings as their
parent Web sites. However, you can set unique permissions for subsites.

Using FrontPage 2003, you can also restrict access to a root Web site;
however, you cannot restrict access to separate pages, sections, or folders
in a Web site.
 
Hi Zee,

Just how secure does it have to be?

If it's only one page and "Real" security is not needed
(Just want to keep the casual surfer from viewing)....

Then try a Text box link (Password?)

Switch to HTML view and add this code to your page.

<form >
<input type="text" name="T1" size="20">
<input type="button" value="Button" name="B1"
onclick="document.location.href = T1.value + '.htm'">
</form>

If the password is "herbie" you need to name the page "herbie.htm"

On summit it will take you to that page..

Quick easy but not all that secure but works in most applications....
You could make the password "8rt6bqw32m" but you get the idea....

Hope this might help

Well... You don't put in a password (they do that in the text box)

The page that you want them to see... Name it the password:

barb.htm Then the password is barb... and when barb is entered in the
text box then you push the Enter button you are taken to the page barb.htm

If you name the page lkjhgfdsa.htm than the password is lkjhgfdsa

Simple but effective in keeping the average person from viewing that page
(unless they know the file name...8)

<form >
<input type="text" name="T1" size="20">
<input type="button" value="Enter" name="B1"
onclick="document.location.href = T1.value + '.htm'">
</form>

(I changed the buttons name to "Enter")

Just copy the above code and paste it in a page (in code view) then save the
page and preview it in your browser..
Then all you have to do is type a file name (a file that is in the same root
directory as the page the form is on) then click on "Enter"... you should be
taken to that page..

NOTE: You must click on the "Enter" button with the mouse or it will not
work!

Hope this might clear it up for you.
