Re: DSO bypassing mapping

[Reiser, John J]

** Jim,   I'm just starting to use DSO so I know I don't have a DSO answer BUT can you create a dummy user form on the source server and pass it as your User form? DSO could duplicate the real user for to the dummy and the dummy would pass the values to the reporting form. In the absence of a License Type field in the dummy User it would probably use the default value. Just a stab in the dark.   John J.
