Hello and thank you for taking the time to help me. I am very new to PHP/MySQL and I have seen several examples of login scripts that allow you to control access to pahes, etc, but I need something a little different. I need to be able to have a user login using a username and password I supply to them and then have the script check their username and password and if it is correct, it returns the contents of a third field named "pincode". Any ideas on how to do this? I am not even really sure where to begin. I am really looking for an explanation on how to accomplish this, not a ready made script. It is important to me that I understand how to code this script. Thank you in advance. Dorian
