Re: Paperless - PowerBuilder in WAN

The latest version caused me also problems running under terminal server.
This was only when PB is the only application what starts up.
When i start a normal terminal server session and then start PB using the
startup menu PB works.
But his is not what i want.
Now people have a windows start button and can also do other things.

Another question i have regarding pb.
Is there a possibilty to disable the quit application function so that users
can't close PB. (Password protected or whatever)
I should think that PB should be active at all times 24/7.
I also asked this to ise support but unit now...............
I should think that ise should support terminal server/citrix due to that
fact that maintenance is much more easier.
With all there updates which are coming out frequently its not possible to
chase every single pc on the shop floor (Which are widely spreaded) and
update there software.
