[support] back-ups and changing user level password

[Copper River Watershed Project]

Hi fellow and helpful users,

Two questions:

(1.)  Carl, what do you mean by "I keep a file of all changes between
backups, particularly if I am making small, irregular changes for 
which I don't backup every day. "?  How, exactly, do you make this 
file?  Is it an e-base file, or something else?

(2.) About changing the user level password:  our office has three 
staff people who use e-base, myself and two others.  I've set my user 
level for "admin" and theirs for "user" in the Staff Listing section 
of the setup wizard.  I've followed the procedures for changing the 
password that allows you to change other passwords.

I'm trying to change the "user" password so that the other two users 
each have their own password.  So I open up e-base with my 
(personalized) admin. password, enter the change-passwords password, 
get to the Change Passwords screen, enter a new password (for one of 
the other two staff), get to the next screen, and enter "user" for 
old password and the new password for one of the other staff.  It 
doesn't work -- I get the message "This combination of passwords is 
not correct."  I've never changed the user password, so the only 
password that our ebase recognizes, currently, for this level is 
"user."

We have ebase running on a Mac with OS8 8.1.

Thanks for any insights, or pointing out steps I've skipped,

Kristin
