Unlocking the Audit Trail

Is there a way to unlock the audit trail so another program can write to it while the original program is still running?

You could modify the DLL to write other data.
From the Blaise online assistant. Index "Audit trails"
"The following is a description of Audit.dll that is supplied with Blaise. Its source code file is Audit.dpr."
It's a little complicated, but could be modified to run another app and record other data.

You could write another audit trail file just for the other program.
That would require some method to trigger manipula, like an event from a type when on a specific field. Datamodel properties-->TyesNo-->Events button. Every time a question is asked that uses TyesNo the event will trigger and that could be a manipula scrppt that calls the external app

Perhaps this can help. There is an setting in the AIF file called CloseFile. When set the audit trail will be opened before and closed after a write. See the online assistant for information on the AIF file.

This setting is going to be useful, thank you for the tip
