Restricting Older Versions Access

[deego55]

Hi. I am upgrading a system from FM 5 to 8. I want to deny access to the files for all clients that are are not using FM 8. Some users have FM 7 installed and i do not want them to access the files created in FM 8 (since some of the functions are not supported). What is the best method to do this?

Hi,

I think

left(rightwords(get(applicationVersion); 1); 1)< 8

should do the trick in an "If" script step in the startup script.

*Actually,

getasnumber(get(applicationversion))<8

is nicer.
