How can I set up a link which takes users straight to a guest account without them having to log in?

Read your README file...It is clearly stated about linking to the "default" user account.

The appropriate link is:


Change the location to your db.cgi file.

i had seen that, but was getting an error still. have managed to find the fault and correct it. thanks for the help anyway.

but my question was, rather than have a no-password default user with id=default, can I bypass the login screen to an existing user with that username and password already set up... that is the question!

You can do that. The URL would be

http://.../db.cgi?db=database name&userid=user's login name&pw=user's password&login=1

Well, you should have been more explicit and clear in your original post!

I was only trying to help!
