Is there a way to re-login as guest without restarting your database file?

It's not a huge problem - it just means you need to create an equivalent real account... just seems kinda senseless.

The only way I can see is if you make an opener file that has a startup script to close your main database file and reopen it. Then your "relogin" script in your main file just opens this new opener file.

This opener file can close itself too.

Take a look at the script steps under Accounts. You can logout and login and do a lot of other things with these script steps.

I have some sample scripts that I will share if interested.

yep, that's what I was doing.

You can login as the built-in Guest automatically at login, but other than that you can only access it manually.

The script steps do not allow you to specify it, unless there is a special way to call it that I don't know about. (unless of course you uncheck "perform without dialog" and let the user choose the guest option).

It's hardly a big deal, sinceyou can create your own guest account, but it does seem like an oversight to me.

Take a look at this script:

Take a look at this script:

I don't know what happened to the script I copied here.

I will attach a PDF of the script.

So what you're saying is that if a user attempted to access the Guest account through your custom script, you could then simply show them the dialog and let them choose it manually.

That's nice, but I think it makes more sense to automate the process fully and simply use another account with the same privileges (guest2 for example).

In my case, I'm allowing users to logout when they way alway from the machine, then log back in when they come back (or another user does), during this time the machine is logged in with an account with basically no access privileges.

Like I said, this isn't a problem for me, it just seems like an oversight.

In most cases I will not have the guest privileges active. Every user will have to have a password.
