Just finished setting up most of my pages and noticed that the login page wasn't working for me. The login page was easily bypassed by typing in the xxx_list.asp page. I could also go to the rest of my pages just as easily even though they have different usernames and passwords. I am using the hardcoded username and password.
Am I missing something?

You are testing this while your session is still active.
Try to log out first or just close your browser and type list page URL in a new browser's window. You will be redirected to the login page in this case.

Thanks for the response. I had already tried it in a new browser window and it does redirect as you mentioned. However, without logging in if I reenter the list page it sends me to the list page. I noticed this morming that it says logged in as guest. I thought that guest access was allowed if using database passwords only.

I also logged in to one page and then typed in the xxx_list.asp for another page and was again redirected with guest permission. I can view but not add/edit or delete. Is there a way to disable guest access altogether?
Many Thanks
