Hello All,

Is there any way to restrict a particular printer to a particular user in mfg/pro eB2.
Means a particular user should not be able to use the printer name in output to : option while all the other users can still access the same printer.

Thanks

AFAIK there is no printer security in QAD/MFGPRO (i'm using version eB2.1)
since the printer selection is done in an include file (which is compiled in every
report/inquiry program) if you want to modify/customize this include file,
you will have to recompile the whole system, i.e. thousands of programs...
and you don't want to do that :)
i have an idea how to add printer security with minimal customization, i'll try
as soon i have the time (its not on my high priority list)
Hint: it has to do with launcher program: gpwinrun.p
