Incidentally, you can also take the login pages *out* of the directory that is controlled by Application.cfm.
so the structure would be... login.cfm (file) login_process.cfm (file) --- securestuff (dir) --- index.cfm (file) so login_process, upon validating the user, would send the user to securestuff/index.cfm. This way you don't have to go thru the added hassle of excluding login.cfm and login_process.cfm from the Application.cfm within the securestuff dir. charlie Mike Miessen writes: > I am still trying to figure out the problem I have with my login > scripts. > I wrote this (copied actually) based on a tutorial located at > > http://tutorial8.easycfm.com/ > > The author says these files all go in the same directory.
