I'm in the process of building a scripted routine to port my client's data from their current solution into an update, where scripts, fields, TOs etc. have been revised.

However it's possible, indeed probable, that the two files will have a different set of accounts and passwords. I don't want to inconvenience the users by having missing accounts or changed passwords.

Is there a way around this problem?

With appreciation.

You could authenticate on the server and manage the users there.

Excellent suggestion, John. That's one of the principal reasons that we have External Authentication: to get the Accounts and passwords out of the files.

I dont understand.

Take a look in the External Authentication Forum under FileMaker Server area. That may give you an idea.

Basically you take the Accounts out of the files and run them on the server.
