Thanks, Tom- that solved most of the problems I was
experiencing. I can browse the site without entering a
username etc, and forms are automatically populated with
the correct username. However, I'm still being asked for
a password for the box whenever I use the FP upload
feature to upload a file to the web site. Is this still
to do with permissions / security; Any ideas?

Thanks,

John.
