Re: Same Login for 4 files - How can I get them to open simultaneously

Actually the problem is not you, or the setup. It is an ancient 
filemaker problem. I have never found a 100% working solution. But what 
I have tried with some success (or should I say with some luck....) is 
adding another file. Add all the other files to the external data 
sources. Create the same login. And let your users open this file. If 
needed it could end in a layout where they choose where to go next. With 
any luck it will work, but I can't predict wether it actually will work. 
I never understood why a file would ask for a password but then would 
still open upon using escape. End then when I create something similar 
the next time it will behave completely differently. I would say it is 
the most anoying 'feature'.

So we have e.g. one database for customer details, one database for servicing and one database for sales.  + the servicing database is pretty big and complex already at this stage so I wanted to start afresh on this project.
