getting the NT/2000 user name

Hey John, if you are using NTLM you can use
variable = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

this will return the logged on user. Otherwise you would have to create
a login page, query a database to make sure they are eligable to view the
database if so you could create a session variable such as:
Session("authenticated") = false
Put it in your global.asa
then if the query above returns true set the session variable to true. Then
before you query just put a conditional,

If Session("authenticated") <> true then

blah blah blah

Hope this helps
