Creation password

[Nancy Palmquist]

Richard,

If you try to get data on a browse screen from a file with a creation 
password, it will ask for that password, I know that.

I never use them for that very reason, they need to be supplied at 
runtime for various reasons.

You can give the impression you assigned a creation password by renaming 
a filepro file.  It seems the name and the password are co-mingled and 
this protects you from just renaming a file and using the data outside 
of filepro.  It also controls any development changes in that file or in 
processes that access that file.  A real pain if you ask me without any 
real advantage, since it is easily changed.
