All I can say about shared/common borders are they are one of those newbie features of Frontpage that nobody who is into Server Side code like ASP should be using. I have read a ton of articles where shared borders and other frontpage only features cause big problems when using other server side code.

I use frontpage myself to manage and edit my sites, but there are about a zillion crappy/gay features in it I stay away from too.

If your into using Server Side code you really want to do various things by hand. Such as making your own css files and using server side includes instead of frontpage extension stuff. (Themes beingh another evil frontpage feature) Most importantly understanding html tags enough to easily edit any page in text mode when necessary.

Aside from all that..

Personally I would test your code out on some simple ".asp" pages before you go trying to figure out why it does not work in a page using the shared borders stuff.

Make a simple example page to log into.
Make a simple example page to test for the login.

I would also test for this..

If Session("PasswordAccess") = "Yes" Then
' show whatever
End If

Then if that does not work we'll continue this thread..

oh man... wish I knew that before I wrote all that

of course it isn't going to work with a .htm page.. I just figured you knew that

.htm is not ASP

.asp is ASP

my suggestion is rename the main page to default.asp

dont use index.htm...or aything .htm cause ya the ASP ain't gonna execute 

besides on microsoft servers index.htm takes a back seat to default.htm and default.asp

"index" came from the unix world of webservers
