Opening protected files

[Chris Wood]

I have numerous filemaker files which are protected by default passwords. All files are hosted on one computer and accessed across a network. If I wish to get into a specific file from my computer, which inot the computer hosting the files, I use the shift key to bring up the password dialogue so that I can enter the developers password. Everthing works fine, except that one file will not give me the chance of opening it with the developers password, it always opens in the protected format. Now- if I go to the hjosting computer I can get the Shiftkey/ Open funtion to work correctly.

Anyone got any bright ideas!

As usual, help would be mich appreciated.

It is being opened via a relationship, or in a script call.

Neither. Just finding the file icon in Explorer and double clicking it.

I have found out a bit more to this. If I make the file single user, it will open with the shift key to allow me to use the master password?
