Not too tricky. Remove these three lines from the display page
setup ...

& " <b>User:</b></td><td>" _
& "<input type=text size=10 id=user value='" _
& sDefault & "'>" _

And remove the User return value from the return array. Maybe by
changing these two lines ...

PasswordBox = Array("CANCELLED")
....
PasswordBox = Array(.all.user.value, .all.pass.value)

To this ,,,

PasswordBox = "CANCELLED"
....
PasswordBox = .all.pass.value

You may say that your "steak" is superior to my "hamburger".

That doesn't mean that "hamburger" should never be
mentioned in polite society.
