Create a Windows file and add it to the line in the user icon that calls the database. It should read as Buddy suggested. In the icon command line below, I called it DBLogin.dat
IF CVAL (‘USER’) <> (‘NETUSER’) THEN PAUSE 2 USING ‘Not Authorized’ EXIT RETURN The icon would read along these lines. The default is RBASE.DAT but I would not recommend that, because that would give you indigestion every time you tried to log into the database.
