[Quoted] Do you mean not typing in username and password in the logon dialog box?

IF YES:
[Quoted] Command line invocation of a forms executable:

C:\ORANT\BIN\F50run32.exe "form.fmx" scott/tiger_at_db_alias
                                     ^^^^^ ^^^^^
                                      usr   pwd

If you use only a local database you can omit the "_at_db_alias" part. (Tip: often this is "_at_orcl")
You can put this command line in a script, batch-file or shortcut, but remember that the password is visible to everyone! If you do not like this, take a look at the 'if no' part

IF NO:
[Quoted] Than I guess you want to change the default login procedure. There is an on-logon trigger that can replace the complete logon procedure. You can put a call to the logon() function there. This function takes a username and password as variables. I have now idea how good (or bad) .fmx -files can be read (with an ascii editor): The password might still be visible. To hide it, you can choose a very complicated password that looks just like the rest of the code...

REMEMARK
[Quoted] Both solutions result in the fact that evewry user of the form will connect with the same username/password, but I guessed that that is exactly what you want.

PS:
[Quoted] Fill in your name in your e-mail/newsgroup program, I gues you aren't called "Not Supplied" are you?
