Re: Where does SEU store Work In Progress

["David Keck" <dkeck@xxxxxxx>]

Simon,
    Points well taken.  I am used to environments where developers have
multiple profiles, some weak and restrictive used for testing in
production-like environments, and other stronger profiles which facilitate
rapid development.  I am also used to security level 30 on all boxes.  Since
security level 40 precludes certain types of solutions (which I find
interesting and useful), I had to challenge the idea of 40 on development.
Alas, your argument is too strong, and I can't stand slather.  So I reverse
my suggestion of 30 dev when 40 prod, and urge all to do as Simon says :-).
Seriously though.    Regards - Dave K
.
