Thanks Rob,

You're correct about the .httpaccess file. I just wasn't sure that my 
skills were up to setting up the authorization and access parameters 
within Apache. I envision screwing it up to the point that even I 
can't get back in to fix my mess. I was thinking that James one time 
talked about using a third party app to accomplish locking things 
down some. If no one comes up with a "solution for dummies" I know I 
can find the step by step procedure online for setting up password 
access within Apache.
