Well, that brings up another issue I don't understand. I haven't set up any passwords for any files and yet FMP sometimes asks me for a password. I thought somewhere I read the reason for this but now I can't find it. Files converted from older versions of FileMaker are sometimes given a default password - it depends on which versions you're converting to / from. Thanks, do you know how to get rid of it? I haven't really looked into the passwords / privileges options of newer versions of FileMaker. You might be able to delete it (try on a backup file first) or at least change it to a blank password.

The thing is, these files never did have passwords.

So after FMP 7 there'e no way to bypass the annoying dialog box wanting
a password?
And why does it only ask on certain files?
And why is the login name mine and not Admin?
Sorry, I'm just really confused.

Two ways to go:
In the file option, you can tell the file to use a certain account name
and password all the time unless it is opened while the shift or alt key
is pressed.
Further, FMP will not ask for a password the file that opens your file
because it's related have the same account name and password.

never gave it a password in the first place, you're saying that after
FMP 7 it will ask for one anyway?

problem (which I've yet to figure out how to fix) I have an index that
opens all the files in this particular group. Opening a file off this
layout works fine but opening a file from the finder brings up the
password window. I'm guessing you're saying that's how it should work
and if you are, I understand.
