Hi Dustin,

    I was finally able to solve this problem just yesterday. It seems that
I had made a mistake in setting permissions on this domain group that I was
trying to add to the site.

    I wanted to give them Add permissions, but didn't want them altering
anyone else's so I denied them Edit permissions. The stupid part is that
WSS requires Edit permissions to be enabled just to add a response to the
survey. As soon as I gave these users Edit permissions....voila! They were
able to post. Now if that's not the dumbest thing.....

Thank you for your help though,
Stephajn
