what about capturing the username on exit, then the next person in can read that value, and when they exit, it would update to the value

Echos of B3 If you can get it, it's stored in the file somewhere if you can find it.  How was that for absolutely no help whatsoever?

It was a project in another place and time called Byte By Byte (BBB, B3) in which Randall Rath was trying to teach a few brave and intelligent people how to get the information they needed from drawing files without the need of opening the drawing files.

Code: [Select]
FileInfo thefile = new FileInfo(file);

FileSecurity FileSec = new FileSecurity(file, AccessControlSections.Owner);

NTAccount ownerobj = (NTAccount)FileSec.GetOwner(Type.GetType("System.Security.Principal.NTAccount"));

string modifieduser = ownerobj.Value.Substring(ownerobj.Value.IndexOf("\\") + 1);

so far what i have is this, might just have to go with it...

If I remember correctly, the Australian contingent (Kerry Brown, MickD, GlennR), Cornbread, and Hatch (who sadly has never appeared here, I can't find his email address so if anyone has it, shoot him an email) were all playing along.  I did a lot of thread reading with glazed eyes and a slack jaw, saying, "whuh?"
