RE: Handling Files in a Subproceedure

Mike,

This may be too simplistic but I code an open and close procedure for files I'm going to use. The first thing the application does is open the files by calling the open procedure and the last thing is to close them by calling the close procedure.

HTH,

Rick

Subject: Handling Files in a Subproceedure

We are adding application security (to hide some fields) to an application of mine. I want to use a subproceedure to check for authorization. The problem is that I have never really grasped the concept to how to properly handle file opening and reading. I have always taken the easy way out and just opened and closed the file every time the subprocedure was called. Is there a sample somewhere on how to do this properly?
