Excellent! Thank you, i did not realize there was an option in the
advnaced section to allow anyone to edit the document. thank you!

-i did notice when a user clicks the link supplied via email it
prompts them to 'sign in'. Merely clicking 'sign in' brings them to an
editable version of my document w/out any further prompting for
credentials. Is there a reason they are prompted to 'sign in' ? thanks
again!
