Well if your using a script not a CMS, then you could easily just use session_start(); and then check if the session info is valid info(should be if the login form sets it) and if not return them to the login forum otherwise continue on. But the again you didn't mention if your using cookies or sessions.

Are you are talking about loging into both forums at once? If so, there is a how-to in the phpbb knowledge base on how to set up a shared login.

thanks to you to CheetahShrk for your help ...I was looking at the databases I have ...and it scared me ....LOL I think I need to read up a bit more on them before I start to screw with them. Thanks for the links Seeker and I`ll check back with yous when I get it sorted.
One more thing will these articles work for using 2 databases or do these only work for integrating 2 forums into 1 database ???
