Hello all.
I'm fairly new to FM, so please forgive me if my question seems stupid.
I have a really huge database in FM 12 (let's call it FM1). I also have a FM file, which needs to see some fields from FM1 (let's call it FM2). It's all taken care of in relationship graph (FM1 as External Data Source). What I need is for the user of FM2 to be able to view data from FM1, without being able to alter it in any way. So far I came up with preventing the user from entering these fields in Browse mode, but that seems to me a bit unprofessional (and makes impossible to copy the field). And if it's a way to go, is it 100% foolproof?
The user will have to be able to edit, create and delete other records in FM2.
tldr: Is there a way of preventing making changes in External Data Source FM file?
