If you change the permissions on the Admin directory, you are no longer able to use the site as you were in the past.   What do I need to do or change to be able to change the permissions on the Admin diretory?  Thanks.

Not what I mean...  Basically what I am doing is removing the read and execute permissions from the Admin directory and only allowing a few people access.  I think because the sql connection file is located in the admin directory, I will be unable to do this.

Quite possibly, unless you make a secound copy of the SQL_connection file outside of the admin area and change the link to this include file in the common.asp file.
