1) This shouldn't be too difficult. You should send parameters to the login.jsp script as: login.jsp?ID=SessionID&login=guest&password=secret The SessionID must be a unique value for each user and used in all subsequent requests to other JSP pages. This is important since the SessionID is used for storing temporary settings and the web server checks the IP-adresses so that the same SessionID can't be used from more than one computer. 2) In Base2 you can mark the "Multi-user account" option for the quest account. This will prevent the user from modifying the password, contact information and no settings will be saved when the user logs out. 3) There is no "world-readable" setting in Base2. It is possible to share items to the "Everyone" group, but this requires a special permission that only administrators have by default. It would be better to put everything in a project, and when the project is finished you can share the entire project to the guest account with read permission. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
