i have a filemaker solution that i'm hosting on a windows xp computer (fmpro 5.5)

the solution includes about 15 files that each have a bunch of passwords based on employees...

I have found a help message on this forum with the following startup file

Allow User Abort [off]

Set Error Capture [on]

Open["database1(host)"]

Open["database2(host)"]

Open...3-15

Set Field ["LastError", Status(CurrentError)"]

If ["LastError<>0"]

Show Message["Sorry

End If

Close

The problem is that each time a database opens, it asks for the password again. I thought that if the password is the same for a group of files, it would only use that password...

I can't input the password within the script because the password is based on the employee...so there may be 9 different passwords but the same 9 passwords in all 15 files...

is there any way to just have the employee to input their password once...and have it entered into all the other files?

thanks

It should do this.

Make sure in the startup file you have the passwords as well.

Otherwise it will ask for it for each database opened.
