Wow! That makes quite the difference on how you might want to approach this. You have a lot of files to manage, which easily promotes something a little more senior/enterprise based. Knowing this you may want to consider going one of the below routes instead of shoehorning in the bit of code I recommended.
One is looking into utilizing windows authentication. If you are using IIS on windows then this could be quite easy. I would google this and see what you find. Does anyone know of a good article they can recommend on this one? If that does not work for you something like a document management system that has an API might be what you need. Here is one that you can research against to get a better idea on what you might need. There are others out there of course. http://www.xythos.com/ -Pat On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 6:05 PM, Brian Bradley <[email protected]> wrote: > > The thing is, it is a HUUUUGE site - 30,000+ documents so some of it is > secured and some of it isn't.
