now that I have a basic user/pass page set up, how do I make it it so the form I create to request access is submitted to and appends the database?

What server side languages do you have for form processing? There are lots of Perl examples around for that I think.

I haven't put it on any real server yet. I'm creating it with dreamweaver on my xp box and view it from a windows 2003 server box's IIS, which you probably hate...being a microsoft hater 1st class.

Well if you're building for a Microsoft box then you'll be using ASP or ASP.NET, right? I should imagine it would be very easy to do with ASP.NET indeed. No idea what the deal is with learning resources though. I would imagine with it being Microsoft you'll probably have to buy a software package and the required documentation will be in there.

Just wait for PeoFeo to swing by, he'll probably set ya straight. ;)

Where's your id/password data stored then? It's trivial to maintain a table for that using an ASP/ASPX form. If this is an enterprise app then I consider the best practice to be to use basic authentication against the corporate domain then use the resulting authentication information to check an application permission database. If they're not in there then give them a registration page, if they are then give them the home page.

BTW - I hate 'em more because of their anti-competitive business practices than their shoddy software.
