Thanks Pete. I'm not looking for full user registration, just the ability for two or three people in a project team to be able to act as gate-keepers to a set of draft pre-launch product information pages. There's only one set of data, so protection at the top of a directory tree is sufficient - .htaccess & a passwords file would suffice.
As I've used the RapidWeaver plugin with its .htaccess control, script and text-based users/passwords file for a couple of weeks, I'm tempted to simply ignore this client app for maintenance and write a simple LiveCode app for the team to be able to add users to this users file. I can write that as a desktop stand-alone for simplicity. Secure Area looks pretty good - comparable with Sitelok on price and features. They're both over-specified (and hence rather complicated) for my purposes - with equally inaccessible technologies! Still, worthy of short-listing - if I can't get the LiveCode list administration app working quickly. Best Keith..
