Restricting user access to a net web report that is in use.

[Richard I]

Hi
I have a NT web server app that prints reports by writing data to a temporary TPS file prior to printing,.
This file is cleared at the start of each report run.
It is feasible that different users will want to access this report simultaneously, selecting different variables to print.
How can I restrict  user access to this report  while it is "working" ?

many thanks

Hi Richard. As an alternate suggestion, why don't you add the sessionid to the table and restrict the report to that session variable? Then you remove the records for that sessionid in the file after printing. That way all your users can print the report at the same time without affecting the others.

hi Richard,

yeah, I second what Terry said.
