The field after AuthName must be one word - no spaces as far as I know.

Thanks for the response.

If that line is in the .htaccess file in the protected directory I
receive a internal server error when the browser tries to open the page.
I initially had it in the script, but removed it to avoid receiving the
internal error.

Does something else need to be turned on for this to work?

Thanks, Mike.
