how to bring up network login box, similar to that which comes up during basic authentication process, through ASP code.

you should be able to set the authentication in IIS on the directory in question, then when a request is made to the page, the login box will apear...
I believe that there's no way of doing it through pureASP...

even if i use this kind of authentication box, i dont want to use the list of windows users to authenticate a user. i want to have my own MS access database, which can be used to authenticate a user, through the same login box that i had referred to.
is it possible?

hmm, unfortunately no, database logins usually (well, pretty much always) use web forms to take the input and all...

but if you really want to get fancy, you can use some DHTML to make a layer popup when the user clicks on the link to login, you can make this layer look like whatever you want (including the ISS authentication box)

just an Idea.
