Password

[ABCRobstown]

When I transfer a FMP v 6 file to FMP Advanced the password used in v 6 is not applicable in Advanced--unable to access full file. Why is this and what do I do?

Second question: text colors in FMP 6 are not the same in Advanced. For example RED in FMP 6 come out as light blue in Advanced. What would cause this?

Sounds like you have converted a file. During the conversion the original passwords are carried forward and accounts are crreated with the same password - but in FM 8 the input is now CASE SENSITIVE.

So...

FM6 password: Password (but you could have used PASSWORD)

FM8 user name: Password

FM8 password: Password

To simplify matters you can also use a blank user name, but must get the upper/lower case entries right in the password.

You should read up on the conversion notes as there is far more than this that is affected.
