Multiple Files One Master Database FMP5.0

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am running one Master Database with 7 related Databases it pulls information from.

In order to set passwords for user access (16users), do I have to setup the passwords in each database independently? Is there a way to set it on the Master and it translate to the other 7?

I have to restrict my users to basic data entry, but I want it to happen to the Master plus the 7.

Thank for your time, interest and help.

There are third-party Plug-ins you could use to login once, for a version 5 setup. On version 7 of FileMaker your seven files would (probably) be seven tables in one file, with one login.

transpower, there are situations where it is necessary or preferable to keep FM7 tables in separate files. In these cases, an account/password propogation method is needed.

Rotorian, take a look through the past posts in this forum. I beleive there were some discussions and suggestions about this a while back.
