Networking and access privileges 7-11
1 You can define a blank password that gives all users limited access to
a file. When users open the file, they can press Enter at the password
prompt to access the file.
1 When you open a file, FileMaker Pro can try a password without
prompting you. Define the password, and then see “Setting document
preferences” on page 9-8 to set the option.
1 If you create a script that opens a second file when your primary file
opens, and both files have the same password, FileMaker Pro enters
the password for the second file and opens it automatically—it does
not prompt you for the second file’s password. If you don’t want this,
specify a different password for the second file.
1 You can protect all FileMaker Pro files, not just shared files on a
network. For example, you can define a password so other users can’t
open a file on your computer.
To define passwords:
1. Open the file.
2. Choose Access Privileges from the File menu, and then choose
Define Passwords.
3. In the Define Passwords dialog box, specify the password.
To Do this
Define a password Type up to 31 characters in the Password box. Passwords
aren’t case sensitive. If you type spaces, users must type them
to open the file.
Define a blank password Leave the Password box blank, and then select a limited set of
privileges in the next step.
