Subject: RE: ODBC Security


One ongoing question I have about this, and I am interested in suggestions,
is how can you limit access to specific fields using ODBC. I hope it does
not involve increasing my security level from 30.

I have an item master file that contains an item description and a cost.
While I want some users to be able to access the basic item information, I
don't want them to view costs. (This is a typical situation that can be
applied to many files). Is there a way to limit visibility on specific
fields in the file with ODBC?

As Rob said, green screens were much easier to secure -- but ODBC and Excel
really makes some reports easy for the users.
