I just added an exchange account using SherWeb. I cannot figure out how to
make it enter my password automatically. Every time I open OL07 I have to
re enter my password for that account. Where do I set it up to
automatically remember it?

Is there a checkbox to save the password? If not, look in tools, accounts,
your email acct's More Settings. Look on Security tab - is the always prompt
for logon credentials.

It was not checked. I checked it and shut down OL and the restarted and
still it asks for password and does not give me an option to save it.

Bump -- Anyone have an answer for me? I'd appreciate it.

To reiterate. I have Outlook 2007 installed and signed up for a Hosted
exchange account from SherWeb.

I configured it to logon but I'd like it to log on automatically instead of
asking me for a password. But I cannot figure out how.

I've been asked and answered as per below:

I don't believe this will be possible, since the Exchange server is in
domain different than the one your PC is in.
