Keith,

Thank you very much for your help. I will try all your suggestions tomorrow. Right now, since I have to make an important presentation tomorrow, I decided to "fake" the entire Form Authentication. My login form will be the default form and it will redirect to the "real" main form. I am sure you are familiar with those times when you are against the clock and have to do thing the "wrong" way.

Again, thank you.
