Hi M,

I've been testing this for a customer of mine, you can do this easily with
the Lockdown function of Environment Manager
The "forbidden text" (removed by Lockdown) in the Save text box would then
be \\ or the name of the server/client you want to block if just \\ blocks
to much

Works like a charm for my customer
If you want, I can send you my sample EM config so you can see how I
configured this 

Cheers,

Ben
