RE: Authority to Mapics Files from PC programs

   Hi All:

    

   Thanks a million for your suggestions on this issue. I am planning to
   use authorization lists to secure Mapics files. Unfortunately, I cannot
   have multiple authorization lists for a file. But that is something else I
   may need to get around....

    

   thanks again....  

   Regards,
