Scott,

The qualifier is part of the filename.  So I would say no it will not stop 
asking.  YOu must have a file with a creation password that it is trying to 
limit access for that file.

lookup salary = myfile at 2008 k=ky i=a -nxp

would work, but

lookup salary = ("myfile@"{year) k=ky i=a -nxp

would still be variable.  So it might not work.  Not sure if filePro just looks 
at myfile to see if it has a creation password in this case.
