    g0> As far as it not updating the user field when you upgrade the user   
    g0> security level, thats expected behavior.  Older versions would copy the   
    g0> start menu from the security into the user record, but now it just pulls   
    g0> the menu name directly from the security record.   
    g0>    
    g0> The reason for the change is because if you wanted to change the start   
    g0> menu for a security level in the past you'd have to then go into each   
    g0> user's record and update their start menu field.  Now you can blank out   
    g0> all of the user's start menu fields and let it pull the menu from the   
    g0> system default or their security profile.  You'd only set the start menu   
    g0> directly on the user's record if you really wanted them to have their   
    g0> own custom start menu.

    g0> Hope I was able to explain that in a way that made sense lol.   
      
   I think I'll put up something in the FAQ about this as it seems to be   
   something that folks may need some further education / awareness on.   
      
   Your explanation makes sense to me but for those of us using Mystic for a   
   while I can see how what was a previously filled field now blank may be   
   concerning.   
      
   What I think this will do is make folks more aware of the setup / settings in   
   the defined security areas.
