Re-Login
Purpose
Allows logging in to the file using a different account and password without having to close and
reopen the file.
Format
Re-Login [Account Name: <account name>; Password: <password>; No dialog]
Options
Perform without dialog prevents the Open <filename> dialog box from displaying when
the script step executes. This dialog box requires the user to manually enter an account and
password (or edit information already displayed in the dialog box) to open a database.
When Perform without dialog is selected, FileMaker
Pro uses the account and password
information that is stored with the script step, or generates information from calculations
when the step executes.
Account Name allows you to specify the name of the account to be authenticated.
Password allows you to specify the password for this account.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 7.0
Description
Privileges assigned to the new account take effect immediately, including access to tables, records,
layouts, scripts, and value lists.
Notes
You do not need full access privileges to perform this script step. Users with any level of
access can use this script step to re-login to the database.
Users get five attempts to enter their account and password, unless the Set Error Capture
script step is enabled.
