I'm experimenting with assigning groups & passwords. One problem I have is that my databases fire automatically in the middle of the night (FM 6 files running on FM Server 5.5 on a Win2000 Server box) to go through eight hours of imports and exports.

If you have groups & passwords defined, then you must enter, at least, the master password every time you open something. How can I get my opener file (that runs the dozen import/export subscripts) to open via Windows task scheduler and not stop to wait for a password to be entered?

Preferences:Document -- enter the default password you want.

Create an opener file that opens with the default master password of your files. The opener file would have one script that runs on opening that opens the main file and runs your import/export script. The password will be passed along as the other files are opened. Set Task Scheduler to run this opener file.

a) don't use the master password - limit permissions to record creation, deletion, import export ...

make sure this file is not accessible via file sharing

c) include a script to close all files after im/exports are done

then launch another file with different passwords.
