I would like to create/delete a user and set the access level and password within my own code.

The CREATE_USER & DELETE_USER sub-routines are command line only.

Does anybody know a way around this.

Jim,

Have you tried them in code? Don't be fooled by the symbol in the on-line help which is incorrect…

eg..

Call Set_status( 0 )

Call Create_User( "SOMEGUY", "BOO", 1, TRUE$ )

If Get_Status( ErrorCode ) Then

End Else

etc….

It works fine for me. Ditto for Delete_User.

Carl,

It isn't so much that they are "command line only" as it is that those commands are designed to be used on the command line or via REVCAPI. The main impact is if they return results via SEND_DYN, e.g. List_Users.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Maybe I should go back to driving a truck for a living.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
