FM3 Runtime conversion to FM7

[cherrybomb]

Hello,

I am a newbie here so will preface this post by saying that. I have a bunch of fm3 runtimes. I have imported them to FileMaker 9 Pro and it says it needs to convert them. That is fine. These runtimes have passwords on them. Once converted to an fm7 file and trying to open them up in FM 9, most options appear greyed out. By that I mean the Manage and Export features are greyed out under the File menu. All the view modes are greyed out as well. Its as if its password protected yet I cannot enter the password.

Can someone help me figure out why this is? What have I done wrong?

Thanks

Sounds like the file is set to open with an account, rather than ask for credentials. On Windows, I believe you hold down Shift while selecting File>Open to force the credentials login dialog.

Also, in a conversion, the account and password will be the same, as prior to FM7 there were no accounts, just passwords.

That did the trick! Thank you so much.
