Thanks final kaoss...what you said makes sense.

Thus here are two hypothetical situations...anyone please let me know if what I'm stating makes sense (or not):

1. If an .htaccess file in a parent directory effects all child folders or directories in it. In theory..does it make sense that a child directory could have more rules or more restrictions than the parent directory?

2. In theory...could a parent & child directory have exactly the same .htaccess file rules...and everything work fine (basically both parent & child directory have exactly the same duplicated .htaccess file)?

And here's one additional question. Looking at my websites server setup...is it basically a given that almost all parent & child directories have an .htaccess file? Most of mine do...but I do see some that don't.

Thanks
