Hi
I have a frontpage 2003 created site that works great.
My problem is that it is a password protected site, and I
would like to take the viewer's logon name, that they use
to enter the site, and use it to greet the person on the
main page-like "Hello Mary", as they enter the site
Can someone tell me how I can accomplish this?
What I need is a way to collect the name from the logon
dialog box.
Thanks

This would require some knowledge of the passwrod
protection system. Presumably, it "remembers" that the
visitor is logged on, and makes information about the
current visitor available to other pages.
