Problem with a field called 'password'

[gthorne]

I'm transferring an old Access program into a Xataface program. Everything is going along swimmingly, but I'm having an issue with one of the fields. It's a field called 'password' in the database. Even though it's called 'password', I want it to act just like a text field (this database stores passwords for network equipment). The 'password' field is being hidden by default in the list view. I forced it to show up with the following in the fields.ini file:

Code: Select all

[password]
widget:label="Password"
visibility:browse=visible
visibility:find=visible
visibility:list=visible
visibility:update=visible
widget:type=visible


But now, when I click 'new record', I get a blank screen and it gives this error in the log:

Code: Select all

I can change the name of the field in the database, but it doesn't seem to help. Do I need to 'recompile'? Or is there an easier way to fix this?

Did you try with

Code: Select all

widget:type=text

Yah, that works. I kicked myself for that one.
