Thanks to all who responded Darren -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of MartyConnelly Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 9:13 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Putting a Password and Logon name to an HTTP address Cannot Log On to Web Site Requiring Case-Sensitive User Name http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;228914 However it is more likely bet, that this is the cause if the the below IE security patch installed. I think these series of patches went in last year. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832894/ Look under technical details of this IE patch http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.mspx The following URL syntax is no longer supported in Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer after you install this software update: http(s)://username:password at server/resource.ext Details of workarounds for coding via WinInet or UrlMon is available below or how to do a registry hack to disable uid password suppresion. A security update is available that modifies the default behavior of Internet Explorer for handling user information in HTTP and in HTTPS URLs http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489 I think you can also put the uid and password in an encrypted http header and use winhhtp or xmlhttp.
