Hi Doug:

Yes, I have a site just like that and the way that I handled it was, well  
I could have set up two differant folders, but I didn't, everyone is in 
one, but that has no bearring on the funcionality login process. 

At some point you have the new fe_user determine which they are a form1 
or a form2 user, how is that done.  For me it was easy in the 
registration process which then took them to the proper regitration form.  
then the admin sees which side of the site they regitered for and places 
them in the correct user group (all of my registrants have to be screened 
before being allowed entry into the site).  And their site rights and 
menus change based on what type of user they are.

So the question back to you is, when will you know which type of user 
they so that you to send them to the correct new user form (just make up 
seperate new user registration pages, one for each of your user groups).
