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
file. 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.
Click Specify to display the “Re-Login” Options dialog box, where you can set the
following options.
• Account Name is the name of the account to be authenticated
. You can enter literal
text or click Specify to create a new account name from a calculation.
• Password is the password for this account. You can enter literal text or click Specify
to create a new password from a calculation.
Web compatibility
This script step is web-compatible only if you select Perform without dialog.
Description
Lets the user log into the database using a different account and password without closing
and reopening the file. Privileges assigned to the new account take effect immediately,
including access to tables, records, layouts, scripts, and value lists.
