2 8 Creating Logins and Passwords
Login User Table
If the User Table does not appear on your screen automatically, you
can manually call up the User Table to enter or modify logins:
Click on Login... from the menu bar to call up the User Table.
User table entries consist of a login name, password, security level, and
real name. Use the Tab key to move to the next entry dialog line, or
press the Enter key to both enter an item in the user table and to move
to the next entry dialog line.
Click the New... button in the User Table to create a new user screen.
Login Name
Enter a login name for the first user. The login name can be up to eight
characters long. Information in this field is not case sensitive. For
example, if the Login Name is Admin with a capital A, the user does
not have to type Admin when logging into the system, he can type
admin with a lowercase “a” and still get into the system using the
Admin account. Press Enter.
Password
Passwords are optional, but recommended to ensure a secure environ-
ment. Without password protection, any user could sign in as the
administrator and make unauthorized changes to the database. Pass-
words can be up to eight characters long. The password is not case
sensitive.
When entering a password, only an asterisk (*) appears to symbolize a
character. Press Enter.
