>From the looks of it, you'll not only need one of those log-in scripts but also a lot of other custom programming.

my suggestion would be, only because it's been the best way for me to learn new stuff, would be to look for a "portal" that's pretty close to what you want and "customize" it.

I used to play with a portal at www.aspportal.net but the site closed down. I heard someone bought it so put the link.

maybe search www.fuzzysoftware.com for portals. maybe even look at the possibility of getting into an asp.net app.

  Maybe this question is a little bit off topic, but I haven't found any other user group with so much collected knowledge and so many friendly and helpful souls, anywhere else, so please bear with me and don't get cross we me for posting this question, even if it not a problem that requires a solution as such.
   
  Does anyone here have any experience with ASP scripting concerning "membership", or selective login in products and/or implementing these features in an FP site?
   
  My requirements are neither that many, nor complicated. I have 4 different categories of users that I would like to register at my site, get a confirmation email to verify the validity of the registration, respond to this confirmation through a link in the confirmation email, and login to get access to information that should only be available to the specific user category.
   
  Over and above this, I just require normal administration, like newsletter mailings to either all user categories or selective categories, lock user in/out, see who's logged in, have some kind of logging, etc, and common user function features, like users being able to retrieve lost passwords themselves, opt in/out of mailings, de-register, etc. I also want to be able to fully customize all login pages to create a uniform site impression.
   
  I've looked at, but not tested any of the following ASP membership products:
   
  Login Database By Smo, http://www.iamsmo.com/default.asp 
  D2 Sitelock Pro, http://www.d2computing.co.uk/sitelock.htm
  Expinion Member Management System v3.0,  http://www.expinion.net/software/app_mms.asp
  js ASP Login Script for IIS / Classic ASP, http://www.jetstat.com/asp/login/ 
  MembersPro Version4, http://www.codefixer.com/app_membersProVersion4/default.asp 
  NetLogin User Management, http://www.aspworld.com/products/netlogin.asp?aid=1 
  ScriptMate User Manager 2.1, http://www.scriptmate.com/products/smumv1/default.asp
  Spooky Login, http://www.outfront.net/spooky/login.htm
   
  There are probably many more out there that I am not even aware of, these are just the ones I have found in a couple of days searching the net.
   
  However, I don't really want to buy 2, 3 or 4 of them to get a chance to see which one I like and that works best, why it would be interesting to see if any of you have implemented some similar function (which I'm sure you have) and hear your opinions and possible recommendations of some products.
   
  I would really appreciate some advice on this matter.
   
  Best regards,
