L.S.

If I understand it correctly, when changing extensions, catalog and
configname in my app(s) then I'm pretty sure that other apps cannot access
it's data? Correct?

Then I can also change the settings in EDBmngr so I can manage it from that
EDBmngr. This to exclude users from messing things up -if they should have a
EDBmngr (with standard settings). Correct?

I can also change the engines signature in the app. Would that provide even
more 'security'?
If so, how do I let EDBmngr know that 'new' signature (cannot find an
edit-entry for that)?

Unless they match them also tables could still be opened in a tool like Notepad.

Yes AFAIK

You "hack" the code <vbg>

The EDBmngr code or the EDB code (the last one we don't own -standard
version w/o code) ?

Tim,
Can you create an edit entry in ebmngr -like the other settings- for this?
Or are their reasons for not wanting this?

Harry,

Correct.

Correct.

Sure, but you've basically already changed everything that needs changing to
prevent conflicts.

You have to modify and re-compile the EDB Manager to do so.

The reason that I don't have an .INI entry for this is because it would be
sitting there in plain text.
