Query Through Internet

I have a security setup question: I have a group of employees that must
be able to make ad hoc queries against data stored on the SQL Server
computer via the Internet. I have one SQL computer and one IIS computer.
Many of these employees do not have computers that use a Microsoft
operating system or Web browser. I know I must use IIS virtual
directory, which is configured for Basic Authentication right now. But,
in addition to these known users, how would I also configure for
anonymous users? Would I then use the IIS Intenet Guest account?
Help apprecaited. Thanks
Frank

Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!Yes, if you wish anonymous users, you must add the login IUSR_servername as
a valid SQL login and give it appropriate permissions...
