Re-Login
Purpose
Allows the user to log in to the database using a different account and password without closing and
reopening the file.
Format
Re-Login [Account Name: <account name>; Password: <password>; No dialog]
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.
Compatibility
This script step is supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script, but only
if Perform without dialog is selected.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Privileges assigned to the new account take effect immediately, including access to tables, records,
layouts, scripts, and value lists.
Notes
• You do not need full access privileges to perform this script step. Users with any level of
access can use this script step to re-login to the database.
• Users get five attempts to enter their account and password, unless the Set Error
Capture script step is enabled.
