Hi. I am sure this problem has to have been discussed at a previous time, but I can't find it anywhere...

One of my clients hosts their DBs solely through FMU, not using server. The Unlimited copy is open with the master passwords. Web usage has very limited capabilities with no password, and then different tiered capabilities for about 5 other passwords.

The problem has been (and this is the same solution that many clients use, but it's only affecting one client) is that often times, when a web user with no password accesses the DB, it switches the DB being used by unlimited to "no password" from the master. In doing so, it renders it unable to serve via the web and when any user tries to access from the web, then gets the message "central.fp5 is not open" b/c the password level being used is of such a low level that it doesn't serve via the web.

Any ideas? This is driving me nuts.

Thanks.
