Hi

can someone please tell me if there is any way to get the current user password that they use to login to the database - I can't see anything in scriptmaker to do it

ta!!

You can get the user group which would tell you what level they used to login.

Why do you want or need the password?

Being able to get the current user's password would be a MAJOR security breach.

In FMP 7 it cannot be done anyway, because the passwords themselves are not stored in the files, only the hashes (encrypted versions) of the passwords are stored.

As Ralph suggests, in FMP 6 assign a group to the password, then look for the group the user belongs to.

Security is much, much better in FMP 7. FMP 7 has proper account names as well as passwords, and accounts are linked to privilege sets. So you could work with the account name or the privilege set.
