invalid user account or password

[Guest]

I have created (my first) database with a user group. Unfortunately some of
the usernames and passwords I have created do not work. Using the security
wizard I have made them all with the same permissions, members of the new
data users group. When some of the latest users to be created try to sign in
they get the message invalid user account or password. The usernames &
passwords created earlier do work with no problem. ANy ideas as to what I
have done wrong?

Sounds like you added users after the fact. These users' password will be
blank initially. They'll need to login using a blank password and then set
one via the menus.

It's a common mistake. The PID is NOT the password.
