Re: Re: security ??? anyone ???

DAle,

Is it your opinion that it is not feasable to secure the I.T. staff from particular mapics files ??? That is my current opinion.

Paula and/or Bob,

On a MAPICS menu, I get "Invalid Menu Option", and on a non-MAPICS menu, I
get a "Invalid Item Number".  Maybe I'm safe?  A sizable chunk of my
internal security rests on this working (well, actually not working!) - you
guys are ruining my digestion.
