Hi All WD7.5 204ou (AKA sp1) If I read the help correctly I was expecting the necessary data files to be created - sadly this is not the case I have tried all combinations, automatic and custom with default and specific paths for the datafile What I do get is 7 screens, prefix GPW, but nothing else - no datafiles or indexes and no HCreationIfNotFound entries in the project initialisation Help text says............. Groupware data files Files of two categories are generated: Data files that identify the users. These data files can be common to several applications. By default, these data files are created in a sub-directory of your project (\EXE\_GPW directory). You can specify a different directory to perform tests on your application. Data files used to managed user rights for the various windows of the application. These files are specific to the application. By default, these data files are created in a sub-directory of your project (EXE\_GPW directory) . .......... the key word here is Generated: Is my understanding correct or is there something else (besides defining them myself) that I need to do Regards DT

DT, The files that were created for my application did not reside in the root project directory, but rather under the EXE folder in a subfolder called gpw_(project name).

OK, I have just gone through the process again - still without success The Exe directory is created as part of the project regardless of whether or not User Groupware is used (I recall that Components if created are stored here by default) The Groupware directory is created as part of the Analysis again regardless of whether or not User Groupware is used The only difference I can see between the automatic and custom option is that Automatic only creates one screen (Login) whereas Custom creates seven Reviewing the windows created reveals that the links in all tables and fields are set to 'none' I have posed the questions to PCSoft support Has anyone tried this on the US English 'k' or 'ou' releases?

What I did to initialize the user groupware is the following and all works well in my app.: 1) check the 'Enable user groupware management' via the menu Project --> User Groupware 2) select the 'custom' mode 3) uncheck the automatic launch 4) select 'Default directory' Then you have to put the following code is your project opening process nres is int = gpwOpen(,) if nres <> gpwok then //login failed else //Login was correct, first project window is started end Now if you want to customize the WinDev user groupware windows you have to import them into your project, you can find these windows in the directory ==> WinDev75\Personal\Models\GPW\*.wdw It is also possible to import the datafiles into your analysis and manipulate them, haven't done it myself yet but it should work. You need a password to include the files and this password can be found in the help file. Hope this helps, Greetz

No such luck here Under the MyProjects directory For project 1 I have an Exe\Groupware directory For project 2 I have separate Exe and Groupware folders I have also noticed an Exe directory off the root All academic as none of the above contain data files and nothing has been added to the analysis "M.
