Recode Password

mTAB provides the ability to protect your recodes with a password. This can be extremely useful in an environment where multiple users are using the same system, or for those recodes that are shared on a network. Passwords can prevent users from making any modifications to the base recode and help to ensure the integrity of a recode definition.

To Create A Recode Password

1. In the Recode Editor, from the Options menu, choose Password.

2. Specify a password for the current recode.

3. Choose password options.
   Prompt for Password on Updates
   Indicate whether or not you wish to have mTAB prompt a user for a password when updating a recode.
   
   Enable Password Protection on Updates
   This option enables the password protection when a user attempts to update a recode.

To Save a Password Protected Recode Under a New Description

1. Give the recode a new description.

2. Save the recode under a different file name.
