The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
We have a menu application (EasyMenu-- it's ANCIENT!) that lets us
change menus on-the-fly; no recompiling. We had a bunch of
accounting options available to finance folks at various locations.
Some of the options would run the month-end close and other
'innocent' options.
One user, who was authorized to those options, was an 'explorer--' he
tried every option to see what they did. And us with no confirmation
screens!
We quickly added them behind most of our menu options. All they do
is say "If you press the ENTER key you will 'close the month for
AP.'" A second line, farther down, is active for programmers and
shows the command that will be executed. The program accepts 2
parms: the text telling what will happen, and the command to
execute. Prevented some nasty re-occurances of exploration panic!
