MDP> "Groups" are your friend here :-). Groups! Of course! I have to start thinking more non-intuitively! So here's what I've now done to deal with multi-user office situations: 1. Set up the various accounts in TB in the normal way. 2. Define ALL the accounts as User accounts except for one designated as the Administrator account (and only so that I can get in and administer this stuff). 3. Define a group for each user with groupname = username. 4. Set a password for each group. 5. In each group include all the accounts that each user should see. This allows them to have a passworded personal account folder and also have common accounts that all the users have access to. 6. Allow local delivery. This provides inter-office mail without having to deal with ISPs at all - TB is smart enough to know that it simply needs to store the message in the proper inbox. So, for accounts ABCDEF Group D will have accounts ABCD and password x Group E will have accounts ABCE and password y Group F will have accounts ABCF and password z where accounts ABC are common to all users and DEF are private. User D logs in to TB as D with password x, etc. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
