If this is prod, test it w/a testing instance first. Make a backup of of FND_USERS, enter an end date for GUEST, test that you can't get in from apps (you might have to bounce apache or restart the web services). Then null the end date for GUEST, bounce the services, try again! If it works in TEST, migrate to PROD!! Jeremy PConsider the environment. Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
