Separation Model + Login

Hello,

I have a data separation situation in relation to Start up / Login

I have a GUI file on the local system and the Data file on the server.

If an administrator changes the password for an account in the Data file the user can login to the GUI file successfully but when the GUI file then switches to a layout that calls on information in the Data file the authentication will fail and the file displays the FileMaker login prompt for the Data file. I want to avoid this.

How can i test for the validity of the GUI accountname and password in the Data file without it failing and displaying the FileMaker login prompt for the Data file. I would like this to return an error for me to test and prompt for the user to change there password or try logging in again.

Best

Stuart

I don't know of a way to error trap a file before you have it opened correctly.

Shouldn't the ADMINISTRATOR be a little more responsible and make the password changes in both files?

You could, of course hand password change/control to users with scripting. A combination of $vars and the Reset Account Password should do the trick.
