Programmable Public Access Documents on the web?

Is there any way to have a “programmable” Public Access document?

I set write and read public documents for anonymous in the ACL.

I placed a $Public access document and first set the value to “1”. A login was required.

I then set “Available to Public Access users” on the form. When the form was displayed in the browser, the form was displayed without requiring a login.

I then set $PublicAccess to both “” and “0”. Login was still not required.

It seems like the $PublicAccess field is irrelevant and the only thing that controls public access to the form in the Make available to public access users property.

Am I missing something? Is there some way to control public access to a form based on a formula?

You are confusing the setting on the form with the field that is stored on a document created with the form.Basically if you enable “Available to public access users” then the form will be available to all users who have “Write public Access” in the ACL to allow them to create documents. Documents created with this form will have the $PublicAccess field. This will allow users with the read/write Public access document in the ACL to view these documents. One leads to the other.
