To open an existing database, choose File > Recent and then select the *.rsrp file in the Recent Repositories list. You can also choose File > Open Repository and browse for the *.rsrp file.
If the database has login security enabled, the software will get the domain and username that you used to log in to your computer and check to see if they match an active user account in the database. If there is a match, the database will open automatically with the permissions that have been defined for that user account.
Tip: The domain is part of your database login information. For this reason, if you anticipate that you will need to open a standard database from a computer that is not on the same domain, you should make arrangements in advance to set up an alternative login that you can use to access the database from other domains. This is required regardless of where the database file is currently located.
If you are unable to connect with an existing standard database, you may be encountering any of the following issues:
No access to the database. If you have not been granted access to the database, you will receive a message stating that your account in the Synthesis repository is not active or not assigned to at least one security group. To correct this problem, you will need assistance from a user with the "Manage users and logins" permission to edit your account settings. For details on activating/deactivating accounts and assigning security groups, see the Manage Repository Security topic.
The database does not recognize your current Windows login. The Synthesis repository uses Windows authentication to verify the user. If your current Windows login (domain/username) is different from what was specified for your user account, then you will receive a message to connect using an alternative login. You will need assistance from a user with the "Manage users and logins" permission to enable the use of an alternative login for your user account.
