Last night we installed fpODBC 1.0.13 on our win 2000 pro network. The
install went very well. The configuration of fp we installed is a 5 user
development and a 16 user runtime. Now for the questions.
1. Printers... Being on a network we have 9 laser printers, various flavors
of HP. Since when using fpodbs users call a batch file from the server (via
a mapped drive) how do I point a given user to a specific network printer?
Yes I can create them in pmaint but what tells fp that user A is to print to
printer B. NOTE: Each user has a specific and unique batch file they call.
Do I use a set pfprinter command in each users batch file?
2. Since we have a 16 user runtime license why does fp show the "user count"
as 5 (the development user license? Before everyone comes in and starts
yelling because they are locked out, will the system recognize the 16 user
license even though it displays the 5 user license?
3. This one I will have to play with but let me ask the question anyway. I
use a lot of menu scripts and batch files to either import from or export to
dif files. On the batch files and in the scripts they list the 'C:' drive
because we use to keep the fp directory on each workstation. To get these
to work is it as simple as changing the drive letter to the new mapped drive
(ie. V:)?
Thank you,
