Hi,
Goto Internet explorer properties and click on the 'Content' tab, here you will see the 'Auto complete, button - click on it - now you can tell your brower to auto complete your txt and to prompt you if you want to save passwords!!

Assuming that you are using Internet Explorer:-

Goto
Tools > Internet Options > Content Tab > Then Select Auto Complete.

Then just select the check box's you want IE to remember then thats job done.

Phil. (let me know if this solves it for you)

Phil,

Setting up AutoComplete in IE6 didn't help.
Yes, the program asked, "If you want to save the password", but the next time we go into the area needing the password, we have to type it again, so there must be another place to turn on this option.
