[RBASE-L] - SV: Managing Multiple Connections (Users) in RBWIN6.5++

[Gunnar Ekblad]

Steve This is how I do it:   LABEL LBEG1 � disc � � CHOOSE PICK1 FROM Main IN GL.MNX AT 1 1 BLACK ON GRAY � con .pdb   As soon as the users comes to main menu I disconnect the Database and after the choose from the menu I connect again. This has worked fine for me iin 2.11 up to 6.5 ++ But In 7.0 I must start thinking again.   Gunnar Ekblad   -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r J.
