Soykan, In your original post/example you had a table called "user". This table must be open for as long as the menu options are to be used by the application. This is because the SKIP FOR will be tested each time the menu option is accessed. It is not set up once on load but is re-evaluated each time the menu option is accessed. Therefore the user file must be open all the time.

An alternative would be to load the logical access fields from the user file into memory variables at the start of your app and then use those variables in the SKIP FOR test.

"alias USER is not found" means the user file is not open.
