Works fine without it. But I'll include that file then test for a change.<

Odd... last time I left it out it wouldn't work... as long as its working <

While waiting for some real Snitzer to answer I would test to use USERGROUP_ID in a query based on the table FORUM_USERGROUPS and FORUM_USERGROUPS_MEMBER for checking if the user has access to the page or not.<

MemberID is present when you include the files in your post above. Cheating by using Access i get this SQL:

SELECT [FORUM_USERGROUPS].[USERGROUP_ID], [FORUM_USERGROUP_MEMBERS].[MEMBER_ID] FROM FORUM_USERGROUPS INNER JOIN FORUM_USERGROUP_MEMBERS ON [FORUM_USERGROUPS].[USERGROUP_ID]=[FORUM_USERGROUP_MEMBERS].[USERGROUP_ID] WHERE ((([FORUM_USERGROUPS].[USERGROUP_ID])=2 Or ([FORUM_USERGROUPS].[USERGROUP_ID])=3) And (([FORUM_USERGROUP_MEMBERS].[MEMBER_ID])=[MemberID]));

After generating the recordset it ought to be some easy way to find out if it is empty(=redirect) or not(=access) (While Not objRS.EOF....?) Haven´t got the time just now to look it up - I´ll be back in a couple of hours if no one else steps in and tell you the smartest way to do what originally asked for. (If I am lost I do hope they also delete my posts)<

Man, thanks for the info. I will test it out when I get some sleep. <
