Hi John, Have you looked at "Setting a Default User" in the Design Reference?
If you want to allow: 1) Users to never see the 4D Password Dialog; and 2) Users to only see your password system; and 3) 4D password system to keep users out of design environment then take a look at "Setting a Default User" at: http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16.1/Setting-a-Default-User.300-3373311.en.html To setup a default user and limit access to the Design Environment, you would: 1) create a group for design access (for example, "design_access".) 2) Create a default user with **NO** password or group assigned (for example, "default_user".) 3) Assign the users "designer" and "administrator" to the "design_access" group. In Database Settings -> Security, do the following: 1) Specify the group for design access from popup of group names. 2) Specify the default user name from popup of user names. 3) Uncheck "users can change password". When usersr enters the database, they automatically enter as the default user. No 4D Password Dialog appears. You then present your custom password login dialog. Beware in this scheme you will not be able to get into the Design Environment again, unless the 4D Password System dialog appears to allow you to enter as designer. When opening a database, you can force the 4D Password Dialog to appear by holding down the shift key.
