FileMaker PRo 6

I have 15 salesmen that access the FileMakerPro 6 database from all over (they use their office computer as well as their own home computer-which limits my use of Auto Enter Creator Name). I have them in a Record_created_by field that has a drop down list of their names(value list). I want them to only be able to access the records that they create. I have tried various variations of limited password protection but everytime after creating a record --they can't see it. I tried limiting password...Record_created_by=Status(Current Fieldcontent)--doesn't seem to work. Any help is apprectiated..

Sorry didn't realize that this was common...and easily fixed... Thank You

I created a Layout using bits and pieces from the Customer management template and have notice that when in the browse mode ---when I attempt to "tab" between different fields on my form--the cursor goes to various fields but not in the order of the form? Is there away to make my cursor tab from field to field based on their layout?

Thanks to You All

what I did was create a database called xxxx.fp5 for client contact info...I set up each salesman with his own password..but they all have the same "browse, create, edit records" privileges--I want to restrict each salesman to only be able to edit his own records..

I have 4 salesmen that enter customer info into the database. I want to restrict each salesman to be able to work with his or her own info and not mess with the others.. Passwords for each don't work as they are able to edit the other salesmen... have I made myself understood and is there an answer..?
