I don't believe it's the type of problem that your suggestion implies (and I
have tried the permissions wide open to no effect). The problem is that
running these linked docs causes login fails on another domain and I want to
stop these attempted accesses entirely, not just allow them to complete
successfully. I could probably allow them to succeed by simply adding an
identical username/password on Domain A as she is using on Domain B, but
that goes against our security policy.

Thanks for your response!
