Yup. The worst feature of FTView ME.
Feeling generous tonight Paul?I disagree. I can't count about five off the top of my head that are worse.

ThanksThe only time that I have experienced the login scramble is when I restored an application that had user accounts that didn't exist on my machine and I didn't select the "local directory" option when I restored it.
One thing that I can imagine that could have happened Damien is say you had user accounts A, B and C on your machine. Then you restored an application with accounts X, Y and Z where you chose the the local directory option. I think the A, B and C accounts would get wiped. Then you restored A, B and C the same way and now X, Y and Z get wiped.
Our solution for a while was to put [ALL USERS] in the security configuration so that the specific users weren't in there to get scrambled. This would only work if you had one user level.
Talking with the Rockwell guys last month, it sounds like pretty soon the software is going to get merged together anyhow (ala CX-One). I can see this being both good and disastrous depending on how well it is executed.
We heard this too. I'm crossing my fingers that things take after Logix because I really like that software. I'd hate to have Logix take after FTV. The first thing that I hope goes is the Application Manager, which would in turn mean that the whole "local directory" scheme would to as well.
