  Good morning, Paul. Glad to know someone else works on Sunday morning.

Here's the authentication section of web.config:
.......
<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name="AuthCookie" loginUrl="LoginPage.aspx">

<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">

<user name="Tom" password="tucker" />

<user name="TomReal" password="tuckerreal" />

</credentials>

</forms>

</authentication>

.......
Configuration section is:
..........
<configuration>

<location path="SecuredPage.aspx">

<system.web>

<authorization>

<allow users="Tom"/>

<deny users="?"/>

</authorization>

</system.web>

</location>

.........
Here's the code from the login page:
.....................
 Sub Login(obj as object, e as eventargs)
    If (FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(txtUserName.Text,
txtPassword.Text)) then FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(txtUserName.Text,
false)
             Select Case txtUsername.Text
                    Case "Tom"
                            Response.Redirect ("SecuredPage.aspx")
                    Case Else Label4.Text = "Please contact Support. User "
& txtUserName.Text & " is not recognized."
            End Select
    Else
            Label4.Text = "Sorry, invalid user name or password."
    End If
End Sub

 .....................

The IIS config for the site is:
Directory Security: Anonymous access set to IUSR_<RealMachineName>, IIS
controls password. Also set to Integrated Windows authentication.
Documents: Default documents set to (Default.htm,default.asp,
index.htm,iisstart.asp). I don't have any of those docs in the application.
My login page is loginpage.aspx, my application page is SecuredPage.aspx.
App permissions are set to: Read, Write, log visits.
Application settings are: Application name: TestApp
Execute permissions: Scripts only
Application Protection: Medium(pooled).

Let me know if there's another information that would be helpful.
Thanks for your help.
