Hello Charter,
My server is not using an .htaccess file. It's done with the user/pass database authentication method. (not MySQL though.) I forget the name of it, but all the username:password combos are stored in a database.
I am sorry if I sound ignorant.. I just can't think of the name of that database file right now
Maybe that's the problem. But then again, I read some of your other answers to other .htaccess related posts, and I think I will go ahead and turn .htaccess off, spider it, then turn it back on. If this works all is well.
Thank you so much for all your help.
Mr. L
