Re: MiniMate access problems



I have the same problem.  For security reasons, I have changed the
superuser password to something else.  In .access file, I used minivend as
Remote user because I found out that "is" the only way the password will
show and work.  However, with the superuser account "minivend", I have to
type in the old default password "nevairbe", not the new one I changed to.
After I finish with MiniMate admin, I get an Internal server error if I go
back to access my catalog.  Then I have to restart the minivend server to
correct the problem.  It just gets very messy.  Since 9 out of 10 questions
I asked in the past, no one ever responded.  I just hope someone else will
ask and provide a solution. :)
