[FX.php List] FM accts vs. acct & password fields?

[Joel Shapiro]

Thanks Dale & Bob

Yeah I agree that creating FM accts would be too much trouble and too  
much unnecessary risk.  Plus, if there are gonna be a lot of users,  
that would be a lot of FM accts, which just seems like bulk.  Plus if  
the web file is separate from the data file, the script would need to  
create the accounts in both -- and check for uniqueness through  
FileMaker errors -- and... phew!

Good.  You've helped me think it through more.
