Thanks Jochen.

Unfortunately, giving Anonymous, Reader access, doesn't work.

I have created an HTML form, which when submitted, creates a document in the Domino database. If I set Anonymous as depositor, then the form is submitted and is accessible via the automated email link, until I use the $PublicAccess flag you suggested.

If I set Anonymous to Reader, it prompts for Username and Password when trying to submit the initial HTML document to the Domino database.

Maybe I will just stick with Depositor access.

Right, I missed that point. Readers can't create documents of course. But...
...you could grant Author access to Anonymous
+ protect documents from unwanted access by Readers fields
+ protect forms from unwanted access by means of Form properties > Security tab

Or go with Carl's suggestion and use an agent to modify forms submitted by anonymous users.
