Check this link. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Anon_Surveys.aspx

Also you need to publish your pages.

Thanks,

Answer 2

Dears,

First i am having the same problem as described previously : You have a MOSS Publishing Site, and a Survey, Anonymous access is already enables on the site (and working), But if you enables the Anonymous access for the Survey (with the all available options Add,Delete,Edit,Read ...) its still Not working, and When you navigate to the NewForm.aspx it still asks for Username and Password.

Second, The reply of (Raj_Tech) does not solve the problem (even the post is not quite advanced), And what about publish the pages ?? what pages do you mean ? If you mean the pages inluded in the pages Library, so yes they are published and approved.

So please if you have any solution provide it ...

Bingoo...

Guys i found the solution, but you need to do the following Steps :

1- Deactive The Lockdown features (These features included in the Publishing Sites, and prevents anonymous users from displaying lists forms like Newform.aspx) using the following Command:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN\stsadm.exe -o deactivatefeature -url http://mysitecollection -filename ViewFormPagesLockDown\feature.xml

NOTE: REMEBER TO CHANGE http://mysitecollection TO YOUR ACTUAL SITE COLLECTION NAME AND PORT

2- Now Create Your Publishing Site which will contain Surveys

3- Normal Configuration to enable Anonymous access, as following:
       3.1 Enable anonymous access in the Central Admin to the Web Application
       3.2 Enable anonoymous access in the site collection using SiteSettings->Advanced Permissions->Anonymous Access->Entire WebSite

4- Create your Survey

5- Configure anonymous access to enable Add, Delete, Edit or Read

And it should work.
