That is the expected behavior. It is to prevent anyone from doing things they shouldn't unless they are in the select few who know how to get to to DevLogon and its password. Presumably they know what they are doing and won't do things like delete all records except when they know thats what they need to do to get rid of sample data or perhaps badly failed import attemps.
By the way, is there any way of changing the password for DevLogon now that you have told the world what it is? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jen Brock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 1:08 PM > To: TechRocks Support > Subject: [support] Thank you! > > > Clif, > > Thank you for your helpful step by step instructions.
