I believe that warning is issued when someone enters their user/name
password incorrectly and fails to login. It can also occur when an
"opener database" or script tries to login with invalid credentials.
Googling around the internet seems to confirm this recollection.

If there is going to be a formal list it will be with the FM Server 9
documentation pdfs. But I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't
anything.

You can supress the warnings by having FM Server only notify on
errors.

there are 4 databases in the solution
the account IHC User only exists in the Opener db; the Opener db is used 
for remote login, then users login to A_Scalpel_User  from the Opener.

h.xxxxxx is a user account in the A_Scalpel_User file


1. Licenses have been purchased, but where does one reset the default

should be testable
