Startup Script Help

[rrb011270]

Mabuhay!

I made a database launcher for my two databases and I coded a script that will open 2 FMDB at our FM Server Host computer... the code is:

Allow User Abort [off]

Set Error Capture [on]

Open [Filename: "eglossRe.pkg" (Error-404)]

Open [Filename: "Equipments.pkg" (Error-404]

Both of these databases have the same password and they are runtime solution....

Question:

How can I add a script step into my code such that I'll enter a password and both databases will be open without asking another password for the other database?

I appreciate ur help...

Hello ritchie,

A solution to your problem would be to password protect the launcher file with the same password as you want used to open the two hosted database files.

Then, your users will be prompted for the password once when they open the launcher, but then the other two files will be opened with the same password, without any further password prompt.

It might be wise to turn off the password privilage that allows users to change the password, however, as should any of the paswords change, the single-password login procedure will stop working.
