as for your question, yes i am doing most of the user group permissions on the server side. The challenge is have is i cant figure out exactly how to change the form control properties (like locking, background colour etc) using ASP. Basically, I have to lock some controls such that certain users do not edit data. Do you have an idea how i could do this in ASP?

Reply from Richard Rost:
Well, if you want to do it just with ASP, then don't put the data in a form control that the user can see. Put it in a HIDDEN text box and just display it with normal text if you want them to still see it but not edit it.
You can lock/unlock fields but that involves JavaScript or VBScript - a CLIENT-SIDE scripting language that can actually control the browser elements. ASP cannot.
