Hi

You should never use your login page as your entry url.
http://localhost/Modify/Default.aspx. The forms authentication will redirect
the user to Login.aspx. Then once the user is authenicated they will be
returned to Default.aspx once you issue the
"FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text, false)"
request.
Hope this helps.
