95ctorry Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Our small business uses a Filemaker database to record sales information. Having previously requeired a username and password, our master database suddenly logs in without asking for this and has limited access privileges (i.e we can no longer delete records). We cannot work out how to restore the password protection or privileges. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated! Thanking you Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Witberg Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 looks like someone changed the file options. Start the solution while pressing down the Alt key. You should then get a login prompt. Then afterwards go to menu bar->file->file options and reset the startup options to log in using a named account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95ctorry Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 That seems to have worked, thank you very much! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Head Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Start the solution while pressing down the Alt key. Just for clarity, that key is Option on Mac and Shift on Windows. Looks like the OP did the Alt -> Opt translation OK. smiley-wink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maarten Witberg Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Looks like the OP did the Alt -> Opt translation OK it says "alt" on my mac keyboard... and that squiggle also that looks like half an oven dish. It's a bit confusing that a key which is named "option" should be marked "alt" don't you agree? ah well. there's worse things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHunter3 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 that squiggle also that looks like half an oven dish. It's a bit confusing that a key which is named "option" should be ma ⌥ ? I think it's supposed to represent a switch. Option, alt, switch, fork, else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
