I don't remember the exact name, but it's something along those lines. Perhaps check that form to see if the user has any records for the login id that has a problem.

I changed all of the non-functioning user's data to match that of one who works. I also created a brand new user record after changing the login name of the original. I'll try removing the user's preference record altogether. I'm also going to try to catch the session in the API log to see what is happening in the two cases. Thank you, --- John J.

They run aruser on their windows 7 PC and then there is a third party utility connected to the phone system that accesses the aruser.exe process and forces open the appropriate form based on the Helpdesk number that was called. This 3rd party utility is a blackbox to me and since I can't prove that it is the culprit I can't force them to call in the vendor for troubleshooting. The scenario goes like this: A customer calls on Line 1 the utility opens Form 1 in aruser.exe . Line 2 opens form 2 and so on. All forms are supposed to open in Create (green screen) mode. After the request is submitted I close the form with an AL to prevent window bloat because the 3rd party can't reuse an open window. So for one of the operators the process opens in create mode the first time the aruser.exe is run. All subsequent interaction with the 3rd party utility opens the correct form but in Search mode. It's not machine specific. It happens on any machine that the Operator use. And when I had the Operator use a dummy account with the same permissions the system worked first time and every time after that. So we have confined the issue to the Operators account. I saved the account to another name and created a new user record with the original name from the Active Directory. She still gets the bad functionality, works the first time but not subsequent times. Active Link logs on the operator's account only shows what happens after the utility runs. Would the arreload command reset the User-cache and maybe clear her problem. Thank you, --- John J.
