Hi

I have set up a custom dialogue box with a bulleted field to take a user's password (to allow viewing of a form). I can use the Exact script step to match the field's content to another field, but can I use it to match to the active account password? And, if so, how?

(Ever grateful for the help gained in these forums!)

can I use it to match to the active account password?

No, you can't. If you want the user to confirm their identity, use the Re-Login[] script step.

Thought that might be the case. Pity! Thanks for the swift response.

Why pity? It comes down to the same thing, in terms of functionality.

Of course not, since the password is not stored in the FileMaker file itself. And I am not quite sure how a ReLog accomplishes this either. The ReLog either succeeds or fails. So, do you trap for the failure error, or do you rely on the state of the login?

In the situation described, you'd trap for error, I presume.
