&lt;p&gt;Essentially, I need a solution that allows a staff member to connect the form to SharePoint without a username and password.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had a theory that I might be able to pull off this feat by putting a manager&amp;#39;s username and password into data fields in the form, and utilizing a Loading Event to have the form auto-authenticate with our WSS3 site on load.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Am I way off the mark?&amp;nbsp; Is something like that possible?&amp;nbsp; Or is there a better solution?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it is possible, I&amp;#39;d really need some help with this.&amp;nbsp; I am very, very new to Visual Basic, and don&amp;#39;t know how to do any coding.&amp;nbsp; If someone could offer me a step-by-step instruction, I would be eternally grateful.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
