open a database through script if one closes (Help!!)

[wildman_mag]

I have 4 databases and if they close i need to come up with a script to open each one and input the pass automatically and open it again. How would i go about doing this? any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks in advance.

Hi

how do you think to fire a script if yours 4 DBs are closed ?

You may try to open a DB with Windows "Planned operations", which in turn fires a script "on open" that will open your 4 DBs !

Good Luck !

If you call a script in an unopened database FMP will try to open it with the same password that opened the calling file. So all you need to do it make sure that the files all have the same passwords.

Are you trying to open all 4 databases at one time?

If you have a primary database you can add additional Open commands in the primary database Open Script:

Open (Database X)

Open (Database Y)

Open (Database Z)

Future access is almost transparent provided the password advice in earlier reply is followed.
