Can't disable Guest login (IWP)

Hi:

I've got a flat file DB (Filemaker 9, OS 10.5) working well with IWP on my Macbook (ie, via localhost) and I'm getting ready to upload it to a Filemaker web hosting service.

However, I can't get the Guest account on the login page to go away. I never used it and just assumed I could turn it off when the time came to get the file ready to go on the web.

The default [Guest] account box is not checked in the "Manage Accounts and Privileges" dialog, and when I select the Guest account for editing, the Account Status "inactive" button in the Edit Account dialog is selected. The privilege set for [Guest] is the default [Read Only Access].

For what it's worth, I only have three privilege sets: Admin, User, and Editor. The default [Read Only Access] and [Data Entry] sets are not selected in any dialog.

What am I missing? Can I simply delete the [Guest] account name and be free of it?

Thanks,

Bill

As far as I can tell, all options for the Guest account are unchecked. I think this may be a login page issue. I might have to design a simple custom login page. I don't know if my web hosting provider will allow this or not.

Thanks for your reply!

Bill
