Hi, this may sound daft but thats what my director has asked for. I have used
a web part on WSS 3 in order to access a web based shared calendar. This web
part works, however, it asks for authentication each time the page is opened.
The authentication details are the same as those used via active directory to
log into the site automatically. Do you know of a way I can stop it from
promting this? If it has to be coded could you point me in the right dirction?

Thanks,
