The question that pops to my mind is, what should be changed in SA to be able to cope with this siuation? People need to logon to Servers Alive in order to make a change? And each user can have different rights? Great and what if a user doesn't do a log-off then somebody can make a change under his/her account? An application can try to do a lot but at the end we have to "trust" that people know what they are doing.

Usually opening the Save or Save As dialogs will take you to the same directory that was last used. You have a procedural/policy issue that you need to sort out as to who updates and how it is documented. Programming will never overcome that. To be honest I get the feeling you should be looking at a package other than Servers Alive. I work in an environment that SA fits pretty well, your environment seems to have requirements that are outside the scope of SA at this point. I have no doubt that Dirk will get there but until then one of the larger and unfortunately much more expensive packages might work better for you. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Shook > Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 10:32 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SA-list] Hosts file... > > That's all lovely for a single person team who can remember > that they've changed the current host file.
