esteshk Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I want to open a pasword protected file from the Windows command line. I can get as far as the password prompt and then I'm stuck. How do I pass this parameter in a batch file? Here's my syntax: "D:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker Pro 6FileMaker Pro.exe" "c:Database FolderDatabase.fp5" What do I want next?

SteveB Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 FM is pretty limited in terms of reading the command line. I doubt very much that you can pass a password on the command line. If you use a File plugin, like Troi File, you can probably accomplish the same thing. Spell out what you're really trying to accomplish.

Fitch Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 If your goal is to open the file without the password prompt, you could set it to open a second file that contains the password, is set to open with that password by default, and is set to run a script at startup that opens the target file and then closes itself. There is a lenghy discussion of opener files here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
