Does this application contain financial data for the company? Are they attempting to get access to their own financial information in order to put it into QB and run their business? Your employer wants to prevent them from doing this? This raises a ton of ethical and moral questions. I know you are not the one making the call here, but seriously, if a company I was doing business with was ACTIVELY preventing me from gaining access to my own financial data things could escalate very quickly.
Having said that - if this company is actually doing something that violates a legal agreement you have with them somehow, simply shutting off access to the site should fix the problem. If this is data going into QB, they much be authenticating to get to it (unless the financial data is out in the open for all to see). Just shut them off and resolve it. -Cameron Jason Liebgott wrote: > Just started working on a legacy application built in CF5.
