importing user accounts

[G$]

I have a database built, and want to add dealer access via web. Trouble is, I have 1500 dealers. I'd like to make something easy like their company name and their account number, which only that company would know...

I have the data in excel ect, but is there any way to import the username and password info easliy or do I need to hand create all these accounts?

Well you can't import passwords, but passwords aren't stored in the file.

You could use the Add Accounts script step to automate some of these actions. Remember that Account Names must be unique. They are not case sensitive, although they should be treated as if they were. Passwords are case sensitive but are not unique, although they should be treated as if they were.

Perhaps you should look into external server authentication. That would a lot easier to manage.

actually, that did the trick thanks!

Made a looping script to add company and account and end at last record and let it do all the work!
