Secondary Vault Dropbox Sync IPassword 4 (MAC) to Windows IPassword

Using the Windows 7 File/Open Data Folder to open a open a secondary vault synced to dropbox from a Mac, it seems to prompt correctly for a password, but then when I type in the password I get an error message

1Password has encountered a problem

Unable to unlock 1Password Data.

Your 1Password Data could not be unlocked with the password you provided. Please verify the password and try again.

I have just installed both versions and checked for the most recent updates. I triple checked the password on my Mac, and it works fine, assuming of course that the password isn't somehow different from the master password. I can use the same password on Windows to switch back into the primary vault on dropbox.

Any thoughts?

    You have to use the master password for the secondary vault.

    Because there is no concept of the primary and secondary vault (introduced in 1Password 4 for Mac), 1Password for Windows doesn't allow you to open multiple vaults with a single entry of the "primary" vault's master password. To 1Password for Windows, primary and secondary vaults are all just 1Password data folders, each with its unique and independent master password.

    I sincerely hope that 1Password 4 for Windows, currently in beta development, will closely mirror the behavior of 1Password 4 for Mac with respect to primary and secondary vaults but, to be candid, that seems undecided as yet. Please stay tuned.

    Actually please disregard this whole post. I forgot the original password I used to create the secondary vault as I hadn't needed to use it on the Mac. My mistake ;(
