I'd like to show all links but have them greyed out (not clickable) if a user does not have the appropriate Access Level - I don't mind them seeing all areas available. Any ideas on how to do this dynamically? This is what I have so far, the navigation is in an include file. <% ON ERROR RESUME NEXT If Session("UserName")&"" = "" Then Response.redirect "/login.asp?Redirect=" &Request.Servervariables("URL") End if If cint(Session("AccessLevel")) > 4 Then Response.redirect "/login.asp?Redirect=" &Request.Servervariables("URL") End if %> <body> <ul id="topmenu"> <% If Session("Accesslevel") <= "2" then %> <li class="main" style="border-left-width: 1px"> <div class="headers"> <div class="exp"><a href="data-entry.asp">Data Entry</a> </div> </div> <ul class="subs" style="width: 16em"> <li> <a href="test1.asp">Data Entry 1</a></li> <li> <a href="test2.asp"> Data Entry 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <% else %> <li class="main" style="border-left-width: 1px"> <div class="headers"> <span class="gry">Data Entry</span> </div> <% end if %> and so on. There are around 50 pages to call into the navigation so I was wondering if there was a way of just turning the links on or off depending on the Access Level? _____________________________ Sally

As long as its an include, it'll make it easier to change for all pages. This one here : <% If Session("Accesslevel") <= "2" then %> Should be : <% If cInt(Session("Accesslevel")) <= 2 then %> When using "2" its performing a textual comparison so it wont understand <= However, youll need to ensure that the session is numeric for all users else it may error _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to rubyaim)

Thanks again _____________________________ Sally (in reply to Spooky)
