Netscape typically gets in the way in these situations, because there is no way (other than to quit) to make it forget the username/password. WebCatalog does have a way of partially overriding this behavior:Try linking to your page with username and password parameters like so: /yourserver/xx.tmpl?username=fred&password=joeIt won't work in all cases, but it may get you past your current problem.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
