OK, I just persisted on my search and found a simple enough answer:

   Protected Sub AuthenticateLogin(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs) Handles
Login1.Authenticate
       '
       Dim UserInfo As MembershipUser
       Dim UserInfoColl As MembershipUserCollection
       Dim sUserName As String
       UserInfoColl = Membership.FindUsersByEmail(Login1.UserName)
       sUserName = ""
       For Each UserInfo In UserInfoColl
           ' Should only return one.
           sUserName = UserInfo.UserName
       Next
       If Membership.ValidateUser(sUserName, Login1.Password) Then
           e.Authenticated = True
       Else
           e.Authenticated = False
       End If

   End Sub

I'm sure there are better ways, and I will have a look at this later
(although any suggestions would be appreciated).
All I need to do now is find the best way to link this to my Staff
database.
