I am having trouble figuring out what this windows auth setting has to do with forms auth. You are using forms auth are you not? Also, why couldn't you use basic auth?

Right now I have annon access checked, I am letting IIS control the password to IUSR, and I have integrated windows auth unchecked. I am not haveing any problems.

i cracked it
i was missing some code

the following code was to be add ed there ......... earlier also i changed the authentication mode to forms and set loginUrl this was yet to be add

<location path="SecurePageDemo1.aspx">

<system.web>

<authorization>

<deny users="?" />

</authorization>

</system.web>

</location>

so thanks again

Austin, you don't have to fool with IIS settings to use forms authentication, you should have left them as they were. That is controlled by your web.config and your authorizing function.
