Colin - My guess is that you will need to have the ebase.102 file changed so
that it takes the new password, ie "maiden" The ebase.102 file is locked (
you can't go in and change passwords) so you would need to get Ebase staff
to send you a copy of ebase.102 with your passwords / usergroups setup. You
will also need to add the new password "maiden" to all files in Ebase ( all
21 files or whatever it is) not just the names file.

Yes, Walt, I changed the default passwords by going through the "Admin"
screen just as the manual indicates. As I said, after doing this I can open
the files with no problem. It's only when I create NEW passwords that
problems arise in trying to open the files.
