File Printout Security

Question

I know you can use the security settings to prevent users from getting into certain modules and tasks (Payroll, etc). However I just noticed that it seems that any user can open any Timberline Print File from any module. For instance, from TS Main any user can open the print files for payroll posts, direct deposit registers, print checks, etc even though the user is prevented from accessing the Payroll Module. 
 Is there a way to prevent users from opening these files. We use Sage 300 CRE. 
 Thanks, 
 John

You can set up a hidden folder that only you can see for all your printouts that no one else should see.

John, 
 Sage 300 CRE security cannot be used to secure the printout based on the content. Sage 300 CRE does not read and know about the content of the printout. 
 You would need to secure the folders that the printouts are in using Windows security. If a user does not have access to that folder, then they would not be able to access the file.

John, 
 Setup a folder, then open properties of that folder and Hide. I have been doing this for 10 years now. No one can see the file nor access the file but me.
