I have this one file (main file) that on Windows XP will not prompt for a password at open, even with the ALT key held down. Other files (other projects) work fine. The only way I can get in with administrator privledges is to open a secondary file that opens the mainfile in the background.

I've copied the file to a Mac and it DOES prompt for a password with the option key held down.

I've tried recovering the file and saving as to no avail.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Isn't "SHIFT" the key to hold down in windows ?

I concur, in windows it is the SHIFT key.

Really!?!?

And I suppose it's been that way forever? -)

OK, SHIFT key it is.

Nothing like getting the new year off to a bright start.

I guess I've been working in the Mac environment a little too long.

Silly.

Thanks for the speedy replies folks.
