The only thing I've ever thought of to do, but never got around to researching how, or if it was already built out there.
Setup a single user that only has access to these files on the network. Then a startup application will need to impersonate that user from the user's desktop without any interaction. It may need to map a drive under that user and other necessary things. When the environment for that user is prepared, it launches your legacy application. -----Original Message----- From: MB Software Solutions General Account Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 11:11 AM Tracy Pearson wrote: >>From the presentation I saw at SWFox 2007, it will enable you to use > existing VFP 9 DBFs and put them into a secure location only the > Server has access to.
