SECTION ACCESS problem

I created a section access using something like:

Section Access;
LOAD * FROM [ftp://blabla:blabla@ftp.blabla.com/sectionaccess.xlsblabla@ftp.blabla.com/sectionaccess.xls](biff, embedded labels, table is [Sheet1$]);
Section Application;

The qvw app correctly opens with userid/password that are recorded in the sectionaccess.xls file... perfect!

BUT

what happens if I change a pwd or delete an user in the xls file?

The app still opens until is reloaded , but if it's only opened with old pwd and just reloaded but NEVER saved the old pwd will be valid forever....?????

Did I make a mistake? there is a way to overcome this effect????

thanks a lot!

Yup it sounds like it is working as I would expect, as in :

  • If the sectionaccess.xls file is changed then the qvw will not know about these changed until it is reloaded
  • If after the reload the qvw it is not saved,then any changes that happened as a result of the reload will be lost
