I want to hide my database design. In doing so I have lost my ‘about database’ doc which I used to open the db on the web. So how does one get into a database on the web when the ‘about database’ doc is not available??

I have managed to get the about doc to show up. When I made copy of db it turned off the "when opened in browser’ option. So I recreated the db with it back on. BUT now when I do a ‘preview in web browser’ from about doc it get stuck in some loop. The question still is, How do I get the db to work properly when hiding the design? Whats the trick?
How do I open it on the web? What else am I going to bump into because of hiding the design?
Thanks in advance!

First, there’s not really anything to gain from hiding design of a web application. Are there any Notes client users of the application?
“it get stuck in some loop” is not enough information to tell what’s going on. What are you doing on the About document? What exactly does the browser do? What’s the HTML that’s being generated? Is any of it your code?

Actually its a database and web page. I’m keeping my design propriatary. Some customers indicate they want to give the design to others. Not gonna happen. Its a product I market for artists.If I new what the loop was then I’d fix it. It just sends the command to open the start page over and over. The about page has been used to open the web site to the start page. It always worked fine until db design hidden. I managed to fix the about page with a more explicit command (that the Notes open stuff used to handle). I’m nervous about what else will go wrong with the design hidden.
