1. If I try and have the form open as a web page, it says &amp;quot;An error occurred accessing a data source.&amp;quot; When I have it open in Infopath, it works fine. Is there a fix for this?
2. When it does properly open, it requires I enter login information for the database. While this isn&amp;#39;t a problem for me, I don&amp;#39;t want the average user to have this information. Is there a way around this?

From what I read online, setting up a web service might resolve #1. Is this true?</description></item></channel></rss>
