Mark,
Another great option! Thank you. I didn't consider the control file
approach, but that would work for us too! I really appreciate the great
information I've received from everyone.
Regards,
Rob

I use the following KiX script to control access to one of our apps. This
doesn't "Enable/Disable" an app, but it accomplishes the same end. We use
mainly use it to lock out users when we are doing month-end reconciliation,
but you could use it for any purpose.
===============================================================
;
; EBMS wrapper script
;
; This script is used to either 1) start the eEnterprise application or
2) prevent
; starting it if a certain control file exists.
;
; 09/27/02 MCL Add feature to include a welcome message if a welcome
message file
; exists.
; 04/15/04 MCL Update for use w/GP 7.5
;
SETCONSOLE ("Minimize")
$ControlFile="\\TULSQL1\Control$\monthend75"
$MsgFile="\\TULSQL1\Control$\ebms75.msg"
;
; Check for welcome message
;
IF OPEN (1,$MsgFile,2) = 0
$mess=""
$x= READLINE (1)
WHILE @ERROR = 0
$mess = $mess + CHR(13) + $x
$x = ReadLine(1)
LOOP
CLOSE (1)
MESSAGEBOX ($mess,"Important Message",64)
ENDIF
;
; Check for Month-end lockout
;
IF EXIST ($ControlFile)
MESSAGEBOX ("This application is unavailable due to Month-End processing.
Please try again later.", "EBMS Message", 16, 600)
EXIT
ENDIF
;
; If we get here, start the app
;
RUN "c:\eEntrprs75\Dynamics.exe c:\eEntrprs75\Dynamics.set"

Just build the control file and the app is blocked, and the user is told
that it's blocked. This script also has the ability to display a message to
the user when the app is launched, whether it's blocked or not. This is a
handy way to notify them that the app has been upgraded, that it will be
offline later, or whatever else you may need to tell the user. This is
controlled by the existence and contents of the message file.
