Description
Changes the password for the current account. This script step displays the Change
Password dialog box, unless Perform without dialog is selected. This script step allows
you to change your password but not your access privileges.
Notes
• Users must have password change privileges to use this script step to change their
passwords. To enable users who do not have password change privileges to run this
script step, select Run script with full access privileges.
• Unless the Set Error Capture script step has enabled error capture, users get five
attempts to change their password.
• If Set Error Capture is on, users get a single attempt to enter their old and new
password.
Example
The following, used as a startup script with a password-protected database, presents the
user with the Change Password dialog box every other time the database is opened (to
encourage the user to change his or her password frequently). The gOpenCount field is
a global number field that records how many times the database has been opened.
