Troy, Emmit I guess I need to brush up some more on setting rights. The problem I have is I have a least 3 different sets of users with different rights. One that has full rights on the directory, one that has rights just on a couple of databases, and another that has rights on about 30% or so of the db's ... With the db's in the same directory as the RBase's exe, I'm not sure how to set the rights for different users/groups so some of them don't ever see any of the Accounting are related db's..
Have to look into this more AND, ok... I will only reload after I figure out this rights problem.. It sure would improve things around here.
