<i><font color="#663300">Hello:

Now a question is in my mind. I used the controls of ISECCTL.VCX, that have specific properties like .cAlias, .cControlSource or .cDatabaseName.
Is this the best way or do you prefer to use ICONTRLS.VCX?
I would like to see answers from your experience using CB, because I supose that there are some situations that is better one than the other.

TIA for share your experience</font></i>

The problem with the security in CB 6.1 is that it is implmented in the UI and not the business layer, which is where it belongs. Also, binding the controls to the view/table fields breaks n-tier.

I think the security should be implemented with some type of hook pattern, this way it could be hooked into a control of hooked into the business layer.

So, if n-Tier is your goal, I guess I would say, don't use CB 6.1, move to COM Codebook. CB 6.1 still needs a bit of work to support physical nTier aps.

So, what am I saying, I guess I am saying, use what works for you.

BOb
