    FMPS7 Adv - IWP login - what ID/Pass to use?

    Ok, so assuming the issue must be with the server. Check your authentication between FMS7 and Web Server? You might try removing then reconnecting the authentication between the two. Did you install FileMaker Server 7 Advanced 7.0v3, Web Publishing Update? Are you using SSL?

    FMPS7 Adv - IWP login - what ID/Pass to use?

    You might want to try sharing it on just FMP7 client, and verify you can access it this way. You will not be able to check the external accounts, but you could check filemaker accounts. This would tell you if your problem is with the account setup or with your server setup.

    FMPS7 Adv - IWP login - what ID/Pass to use?

    Did you specify which users have access to the database via IWP? you need to give access to the file under "Instant Web Publishing access to file". Which is located in the lower right hand corner of the Instant Web Publishing dialog box. (Sharing \ Instant Web Publishing) Hope that Helps
