Creation Password (GRX)

[Scott Walker]

Chris said:

Sometimes what we do here is we will take an existing file (ie. Gr_REDBK),
and copy the key, map, and indexes into another folder, for example called
REPREDBK.  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....


Scott says:

You should use the fpcopy program provided to copy a file to a new file
name, or to rename an existing file.  That will prevent the problem you are
having. 

As for your current situation, I seem to remember it has something to do
with the map file getting some encrypted password in it and when you
directly copy it to a folder with a new name (as opposed to using fpcopy)
this generates the problem.  I can't remember but I believe the way to
directly edit the map (like with notepad) to remove this problem has been
discussed on this list.  I hope someone else will jump in and give you that
procedure.
