So I assume your asking for a username and password at that address, then if the username and pw are correct, set the cookie and all, I hope that makes some kinda sense, sorry for the long delay, I ain't terribly active on these boards atm, you can always mail me (cad67@hotmail.com) cause PHPBuilder never mails me for some reason when theres a new post however much I tell it to 🙂
