This is a special security mode not normally used in regular program operation. It is used primarily when the program is used as a DDE server in conjunction with another program. It is fundamentally the same as Browse mode except for the following differences:
1. Changing user or security level is not allowed
2. Capturing photos and signatures is allowed
3. Warning dialog boxes will not be displayed
The net result is that badges can have signatures added to them and they can be printed, but no changing of the badge database is permitted. This provides for better data security when the data is actually being provided over the DDE link.
The program is placed in Server Mode via special commands over the DDE link. However, if the features of this mode would be useful without using the DDE interface, the program can be placed into Server mode by adding “/Server” to the command line. This is done in the Windows™ Program Manager by selecting the Badging icon and choosing File, Properties and adding the above text to the Command Line field. Remember restriction number 1 above, once the program is in Server Mode it cannot be changed (except via the DDE link).
