Can anonymous web user open form with @DBColumn to another DB?

I’ve got an anonymous form that just does a @DBColumn on another database onthe same server. Everytime I hit this form through the web, it keeps asking me

to authenticate. Is this possible without authentication?

Ok, I’ve checked the following:

Form in web database with @DBLookup formula against other DB: Anonymous Form, Available to Public Access

View in other Database: Available to Public Access Users

Form in other Database: Anonymous Form, Available to Public Access

Still is asking me to authenticate.

AFAIK, Domino db lookups in agents work using the access privileges of the ID that signed them. I’m not sure what the implication is in your scenario. I assume anonymous web users are able to open the relevant data directly? Is the issue isolated purely to the look-up? There’s an access issue here somewhere: server, database, document level (the form may be public access, but is the data using it?)

Ben,

Thanks, but there was a WebQueryOpen agent that I had forgotten about that wasn’t using the correct

UserID. Thanks for your assistance.
