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.

Log in as Admin and click on the Admin link on the nav bar...

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.
