Fw: Running filePro on a web server

[Richard Hane]

Let me try this again.  I only received 1 response.  I know more subscribers to this list use fp over the web than that.

Thanks,
Rick

Rick,

I am not answering for fpTech but if I were considering doing fp as a service, I would create a qualifier for each company using your service.  You are still managing sessions in use.

When a client logs in to the service, the qualifier environmental variable could be set thereby presenting them with their own data.

I am doing something similar for one of my clients but in a more restrictive way.  When someone (part of a particular group) they can only see records which pertain to them. (not qualified).
