Tech Tip: How to modify the user's password in a compiled database
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 6.5 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 17, 2001

Normally accessing the password system is done in the Design environment. However, the Design environment is no longer available once the database is compiled. If you need to access the password system after the database has been compiled, create a procedure that will launch the Password Editor dialog in the Custom menu environment. The command that will open the password settings is EDIT ACCESS, and the command that allows the user to change their password is CHANGE PASSWORD.
