Out of the 10 pages of my web site, I want to password protect one page.
This would be a "members only" page.

Perhaps if you had read just two posts from yours, you would already have
the answer:

Subject: Member Area Button with User and Password

You are correct. And if I had found the discussion groups area of the site
rather than searching every other possible location for the answer first,
PERHAPS I may have noticed that post.(Or the other similar posts below it.)
I apologize for apparently troubling you with a duplicate post. However,
your reply in the post that was two down from mine informed me that "I can't
get there from here," however it offered no resourses. Since it is in the
"Realm" of web programming, can you offer some information on programmers
that could help? Web based? Do I need to find someone face to face in my
local area?
Since I am not a professional and just do this in my spare time to help our
church, any help I can get from the experts would be a blessing.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post.

The post I referred you to, was not mine. I interpret David Bartosik's post
to say that you can't do what you want to do directly with Publisher. I am
not an expert, but tried to help by pointing you to an expert's answer.
Sorry it was not helpful.

Further to your question, from David Bartosik's FAQ page at
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30

Q. Can I password protect (secure access) my site/page(s)?
A. Such functionality is outside the scope of Publisher. Permissions are a
server side function. Restricting site access is typically managed with a
server side language such as ASP.NET or PHP. Some web hosts do offer site
folder level security customization, usually through an online host
interface, contact your web host support.

Churchsite,

There are a number of ways to password protect a website.
Unfortunately, they are all outside
the scope of what Publisher can do.

http://hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/User_Authentication/index.html
has a huge
collection of such scripts that can do the job. They vary in
complexity, functionality and price
(some are free, some aren't).

Hope this helps!

Cynthia
