Drive verification OnOpen

[RichB]

Is there a way to verify the drive that an FE is opening from and then close if it is not where is should be?

I have a frontend that gets copied to each users C: drive by a .bat file. However, some just don't care about rules and proceedures and continue to open the frontend on the network drive. Since they map their drive to a specific letter drive for the BE that is where they are opening the FE from.

Thanks

Why not just remove the FE from the network drive and put it somewhere else since they all have an FE on their C drive anyways? Then if they click on the mapped drive, they cannot find the FE to launch from the network.

Also, why not link the FE to the BE thru UNC instead of a specific Drive letter? Therefore, no drive letter for them to click and get to the FE or BE at all.

Well, I don't know why I go thru UNC. I guess I will have a go with that. I thought about moving the FE and changing the .bat file for installs but will the folder privledges cause it not to copy?

Thanks for telling me about UNC and your move recommendation.
