Re: LIBRARY/file security QUESTION

["Michael Kenney" <kenney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you   to all   who replied .

  I I have did some experimenting and have found  a solution.

 What I was aiming to acheive was to   restrict access to  my production
data through  the use of adoptive authority  while still allowing
restrictive viewing of data through  other tools such as ODBC using a
"VIEW".  This "VIEW"   also allows me to restrict data selection  using the
application security files  in conjuction  with   USER id.

 What I found was by   restricting  security  on  "FILE1"  and "FILE2"  to
read  data only with all other access turned off  I could retrieve the data
through  "VIEW1"  but  could not retreive the data going directly against
"FILE1" or "FILE2" .
