Using ASP.NET, your whole page is actually a form. Placing other forms on it is tricky. You dont' need a seperate form; place an '<asp:panel>' on the page and put your buttons/ textboxes inside it. On page load, check if your authentication and then set the panels visible property accordingly.

Any control with 'autopostback' set to true will cause a form submit for your page level form.

Got it working by setting the form visible = true and the labels and button inside equal to false. Funny ole language.

Another solution could be to group the controls onto a panel or make them into a composite control and just make that invisible/visible as needed.
