I am trying to enable a user with @ADMIN=0 to add subsequent users with @ADMIN=0. the Create_User subroutine returns an error when I try to do this programatically, i.e.

UserID=Get_Property(@WINDOW,"ID")

Password1=Get_Property(@WINDOW:".PASSWORD1","TEXT")

Password2=Get_Property(@WINDOW:".PASSWORD2","TEXT")

Level=Get_Property(@WINDOW:".SECURITY","VALUE")

Set_Status(0)

Create_User(UserID,Password1,Level,Overwrite)

If Get_Status() then
Msg(@WINDOW,"The attempt to set the password failed")
End

I tried setting @ADMIN=2', yet this variable is not assignable, the same with @USERNAME.

Any and all ideas will be appreciated. I am new to this discussion group, and look forward to future discussions with all of you.

Douglas,

I dont see where you are setting Override .. we always set it to 1

Also be sure that you have at least 6 characters in your pass word

David,

I ommitted the line of code:

Overwrite=1

So, I am setting the Ovewrite flag to 1, yet the Create_User function still errors. Also, I did enter passwords greater than 6 characters. I am still not able to allow Users with Level 0 to add a new user with level 0.

Overwrite=1

UserID=Get_Property(@WINDOW,"ID"); * Data Entry

Password1=Get_Property(@WINDOW:".PASSWORD1","TEXT"); * Data Entry

Level=Get_Property(@WINDOW:".SECURITY","VALUE"); * 0, 1, or 2

Set_Status(0)

Create_User(UserID,Password1,Level,Overwrite)

If Get_Status() then

Msg(@WINDOW,"The attempt to set the password failed")

End

Thanks for your help !

Douglas,

What *level* is the user when running the program and what *level* is the new users?

I force all users to *level* 1 with overwrite. I check that there are at least 6 characters and that there are no spaces.

Try creating a user in a simple subroutine. 'dsig' with password 'simple' 1 and 1. Does this work?

As for the OI *levels* i would ignore this as much as possible .. their *security* is laughable at best. You will have to implement this on your own if you want anything robust. (oh i'm sure that i might get hit for this but that's life

So .. did the test work?
