That I can do, Maybe I am misunderstanding, I don't think he wants to post textbox information to a webbrowser (You can call the javascript for that, plus as I mentioned in another thread, getelementsbyid also work with a number (when using java) that you can get with breakpoints and some debugging) I think he wants his software to physically access the database on the server [mysql database] and grant permissions based on the database, Example, let's say I wanted to create software that only worked for mpgh.net members, I would have to have a database of members and a way to authenticate them, the easiest way would be direct access.
