Login required for DAP?

I have created data access pages that are connected to an mdb file using JET
and placed them on the web server using RDS over the internet. When I try to
access the page, I am required to authenticate to the Win2003 server. After
authenticating, I can use the page with no problems.

Since this page is for general viewing, is there a way to get past this
authentication screen? I have a generic username and password with limited
rights that can be used to access this page. Is there any way to code this
username and password directly into the page so that the prompt is avoided?

Thanks.

First, RDS is a security hole that has been deprecated by MS many years ago;
see:

Second, maybe you will find a solution to your problem in the following

Since MS had deprecated RDS, what is the alternative?

I have followed the instructions on the documents you cited which left me
with the authentication issue.

Any suggestions?

IMHO (but I might be wrong), DAP are going down the bowl since two or three
years ago and should now be considered as part of the history.

Somebody might find them useful for some quick and simple tasks that will
run on a LAN but beyond that, you will have to forget about DAP and use
something (or anything) else - like ASP.NET for example - and this is
especially true if you want to go over the Internet.
