I double that Dennis!
You never want to rely on an unreuly cfg file hiding somewhere. I set a bunch
of settnings in my driving command file before I connect to the db and then
again after I connect. Some of that stuff is storred in the database and if
you do some weird stuff w/ the owner password, all of a sudden everyone may
have those setteing. Some of them change after you connect to the database
depending on what the setting was set to the last time the owner was attached
to the db.
If I could have it my way the only thing the user Rbase.cfg file would do is
to set the user, or even better, pull it from the network. All of the rest of
the settings shold come from your app. On a network w/ 200 users, you never
want to have to modify all of the rbase.cfg files.
