Peter,
We use the RBase Plugin Rinstancecount.rbl to limit the users from opening more
than 1 Session of R:Base at a time on their machines.
Basically we look to see if there is another rbase session open, and if so, put
a self timing form up saying the user already has a session of rbase open and
then it exits. Here is a sample code of how we do that... Also I use the Cval
('computer') to allow certain machines to have multiple sessions (like myself)
IF gcomp NOT IN ('OHARA235-ADMIN','OHARA234','OHARA267') THEN
PLUGINS rinstancecount.rbl vrbg76|rbg76.exe
IF vrbg76 > 1 THEN
EDIT USING multiplealert
EXIT
ENDIF
ENDIF
The rinstancecount.dll will also work with other programs and code, which makes
it nice in limiting the user from opening stuff you don't want them to.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Mult-iusers, Multi-sessions, Mult-iPCs
We have several computers in a common counter area.
Users loggin to apps to assist customers. Sometimes at their own desk
Sometimes at the counter. Often at both places all day long.
I am trying to find a way to limit the use of the same database being opened
more than once on the same
PC. Timeout option doesn't seem to be the issue -- its preventing the start of
a session that already opened.
(Re-training users and/or replacing the staff is an option desired but -- I
really can't consider it now.)
I guess mystartup.dat is missing sometime. Suggestions?
