Hi, thanks for that. but i did not get he result for that.it spits the
error for the <location > tag.

your suggestion
--------------------------
<location path="ProtectedPage.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="?" />
        <deny users="sa" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
------------------------------

may be i am wrong in understanding of the web.config.
--------------------------------
let me clear on web.config
--------------------------------
1.the users tag in the web.config denotes the windows user account only
.
2. it does not denotes the any database users.

3. for 'forms' based authentication, since some of my pages of my web
has to be seen , i should go for Anonymous authentication alone (or
combined with Integrated windows Authentication) .

4.Now i need to do nothing with the web.config. am i right???

5.THEN HOW DO I RESTRICT THE DATABASE USERS.

***IS IT POSSIBLE TO RESTRICT DATABASE USERS IN WEB.CONFIG?**

With regards
Raghuraman
