I want to put security on the links. i.e.  User A can see links 1, 2 and user B can only see 2, 3

I know how to do it in the vb code behind, but it doesn't allow me to as it still uses the dll.

can I just use the vb instead of the dll or will that break the links module?

thanks

If you want to display a specific set of links to a specific group of users I would recommend possibly looking at just placing multiple instances of the module on the page and then setting the view permissions to only show it to the appropriate individuals/roles.

Thanks I appreciate the input, but...

I've already thought about that.  But the problem is, there are 200 users and 50 links and about 25-30 different ways it can be shown.  Each time a new user or link is added, is potentially another way to show it.   That means modifiying 25 modules just for one link which can get annoying.

I was hoping to do it at the user level. i.e. just specifiy the user access level in the users table.

like I said, I have already done it in the vb code behind, but the it doesn't get picked up because its calling the dll..  is it just a matter of removing the dll link?  because if thats it... then i feel pretty sillly

- Thanks
