Hello, All,
I'm so glad you all are still out there! Although I hadn't read DP list news
for quite a while, when I checked my DP email folder just now, I was happy to
see many familiar names from the California DP conference.
I haven't done much database designing with DP for quite some time, and now
that I am making a little database for something personal, I did something
embarrassingly stupid and have shut myself out of all the definer's options to
my database. I am hoping someone can tell me what to do to fix it, because I
actually had completed a couple of weeks' worth of work before I messed this
up, and I don't want to have to start over.
After doing quite a bit of other work, I created a panel and designated it as
the user ID panel (in order to be able to base reports on it, using a technique
I think I learned from Ralph's book). I then designed a menu. What I forgot
to do first was create a definer's password. Now I can't get to the definer's
menu, which you normally get to by pressing Alt-F8 from the panel list, and
then enter the definer's password. Now, if I press Alt-F8 from the panel list,
it just takes me to the menu definition screen.
I have tried logging in as the definer by just pressing enter at both the user
name and password fields, which usually gets you to a definer or supervisor
password prompt, but instead this just again takes me to the menu.
Is there any help for this (hopefully some very easy fix that I just haven't
thought of to try), or have I irreparably messed up my database?
Laurie Corvacho
