Limiting the master files viewed in the Masters List
When opening the WF Masters List, prior to opening the report assistant, all the master files show up. Is there a way to limit these master files to the domain in which it was opened under?

If you're strictly within MR, you can also explicitly assing the Domain to a specific APP Folder as well (via Properties). The override should only display the MFD's that reside in that APP folder.

I recommend reading Technical Memo #TM4550 which is for 5.2.6 and higher. I mentioned it wwaayy down in Prarie's "Here".

The standard way to do this is a APP list in the domain properties ... if you need more customization of the content list ... there is a facility to insert a WHERE clause when the tools ask for a list of masters: see IBI_IF_FILE which is documented here here.

Brian, I set the IBI_IF_FILE, and it worked great. It limited the files that I specified to just those within the fex I use within edasprof. ....But..... Now I cant run a report! I get return code -30082(cannot connect to db/authorization problem). I will try setting within site.wfs since that the other file it mentions I can use..
