Actually, a struct makes a LOT of sense, and I see what you're saying now. > Why not just use one application.cfm in the root of your site? I think I came to this realization at about the same time you hit "send" on this email. So now, let me see if I understand this correctly. 1. Login.cfm will reside in the root and will take username and password 2. Login_process will ALSO reside in the root, and if the user successfully logs in, it sets a session, <cfset session.LoggedIn=1> refreshes the parent window, then closes itself. 3. If not a success, then that page stays up and gives the user the opportunity to try again, or close the window. Once the user successfully logs in: Place a line of code on each page in that "protected" directory that will check for the existence of session.logged in, if not present, redirect to the index page of the root, which has a link to the login popup. This being safe because, as long as no other pages in the site are checking for the existence of "session.loggedin" they should display just fine. > See above.

Well, that subdirectory will be further broken down by "roles" (if I understand roles correctly) so that a user will only be able to access subdirectories if their roles match, and if they don't they'll see an error message. EX: /lower/user1 where role="user1". I was going to use their role to limit them to access to only "their" directory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
