User Log On

Afonso

Hello all,

I need to log on one user to be used as one agent to do parallel tasks such as to import files and other stuffs, but i need to log on that user together with the first person to log on on the application in the morning.
Have anyone did something like this?

Many thanks,

Afonso

Hi Afonso,

Sounds like you need NAS. This will do all your unattended processing and have no need for your first user to log in.

You more or less solved your own problem.

Log the first user in a table (i.e. date,user). If a record does not exist for that user then write a new record.
Use this record in the main menu form to filter which user should be doing the tasks.

The problem that you will run into is when the user logs off.

An even better solution would be for your tasks not be dependant on a specific user (unfair to the user in any case), i.e. a lists of tasks in a table, the first available user not running any task, locks the task until finished processing, then unlocks the task. A user can only run one task at a time.

NAS would be a better solution.
