Patrick, thanks for you speed response. Actually I meant the menu items on the left margin. I have it sorta working for admin. Well at least for the login\logout but the login is ala the top edit select which is not what I want for a group user to use to login for the initial read access. For write access after that it's ok to used the top edit menu item because his particular group is now visible to the authorized person. Building a account name\password item on the left side menu is what I am really shooting for to be the starting\ending point. It would look like what I have on my website, http://weconsultants.prophp.org, but be functional. This is not for my website. >> Any one give me some direction other than using a recipe.

I do not want to use any recipes that play with security. I have to know top down what is going on. This is not a hobby and it has real consequences. -- Thanks in Advance... http://weconsultants.prophp.org IchBin, Philadelphia, Pa, USA http://ichbinquotations.awardspace.com ______________________________________________________________________ 'If there is one, Knowledge is the "Fountain of Youth"' -William E.
