Application Security problem in 710G1

[KHeathe673@aol.com]

I seemed to have stumbled into a 'new to 710G' behaviour with regards to 
application security.

The screen I have a problem with, has not been touched since 1992, and thus 
has
survived previous PowerHouse upgrades unscathed.  And yet, the 710G1 upgrade 
has caused it grief.

What has happened is that for some reason application security is now being
checked on a MASTER file, regardless of what access to that MASTER file takes 
place in the screen.

In this example, the MASTER file, is simply used to establish ACCESS to the 
PRIMARY file.  No ITEM statements, LET OR ACCEPT verbs exists for the FILE.

The user does not have WRITE access to the MASTER file.  He does have READ.
Suddenly, the screen fails with the message

"You are'nt authorized to update data in this field"

Take out the MASTER file and all is well.  Funny when I ran the debugger, the 
message actually appears on a LET verb for an unrelated DESIGNER file.

But clearly, something is amiss with MASTER files and APPLICATION SECURITY.

Just wanted to share my findings....
