And after i learn how to do this if anyone knows how do you make pages only viewable when loged in. (not all the pages only some). Thank you to all that helps.

Firstly, making a login script and anything related to storage onto a database, you cannot simply rely on HTML pages. You will require a webserver to be installed on your system, such as Apache. Next, you will need a server script processor to process and execute all commands from the web user to store, edit or delete entries on a database. Such server script processors are PHP, JSP, ASP... Then, you will require a database software such as MySQL, Microsoft Access...

Microsoft Office Frontpage 2003 is just an editor with a nicer graphical interface. In fact, you can create your scripts using Notepad or Wordpad and they will work as well. If you insist on using Frontpage, access it's help section for more of its interface usage. Otherwise, typing codes in Frontpage will be similar to typing them in Notepad.

Here are some examples for making a login script done with PHP:

If you need full working scripts to install on your webserver, try these:

Remember, Microsoft Frontpage is just another text-editor for webpages. It may not do what exactly you desire. If you know what is going on with the programing codings, I'd recommend Notepad as it will not disrupt your architecture and layout of your website.
