What we see happen when we do this is when we access the file REPREDBK we get a "ENTER CREATION PASSWORD FOR 'REPREDBK'" message box.  There was no password on the original GR_REDBK file to begin with.  Does anyone know why this happens, and how we can resolve it?  I know there will be some of you that say not to do this.  I would agree.  Fact is, we did it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  I hope I made some kind of sense.

The encrypted password stored in the files is based on the filename, so you 
cannot change the filename without causing problems with the password.

Use the fpcopy utility.  That's what it's there for.
