Submit an Anonymous form after authentication on the Web

We recently had a client request a Web Application that would restrict access to the application, while at the same time having all documents submitted in the database be anonymous. While searching Notes.net we notice similar requirements, but lengthy solutions. The code is quite simple and you put it into an agent that is called from the WebQuerySave event on the form being submitted. The code then adds the $anonymous field, while removing the $UpdatedBy field. 

Sub Initialize
	Dim session As NotesSession
	Set session = New NotesSession
	Dim doc As NotesDocument
	Set doc = session.DocumentContext
	
	doc.~$Anonymous = "1"
End Sub
