That worked like a charm. Took my password right away. Thanks

How, may I ask. I had a similar problem. A child hit the password protection while I was putting it in and I have no clue what was entered for that. I didn't even know it had been changed until I tried to reopen the file only to find that 1 of six files in the database is now password protected with an unknown user and password. I have an older version and could re-enter the data but won' the program still ask for the password?

I decided for some unknown reason to add a password to my multifile medical database. The password protection did not go where I thought and is only protecting my patient visit files not the patient data, labs, x-ray, correspondence files etc. Trouble is that the password I put in all lower case is not being recognized. I back up from my Powerbook to my desktop through a firewire drive that then acts as an extra backup and backup at .mac as well. I can run the whole program including the supposed password protected file on the desktop but can't get into the patient visit file on my laptop. i tried re-installing Filemaker 7 but to no avail. I even considered going to Filemaker 8 though have no good reason up till now. Is there anything I can do to get this file back. I have tried every iteration of the password I can think of but no luck;. Any help would be appreciated. I am quite perplexed.
