I was able to create an "ADD RECORD" button that verifies if

a user has hit the max allowed record limit.

What i can't figure out is how to have the button actually

create the record when i have disabled most menu options.

It seems like if the menu choice for "new record" is not available

then even my scripted button will not create the record.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

How are you disabling you menus? With a plug-in?

I

Sounds like you might be disabling your users' ability to create records through the password.

The restrictions you put in place through passwords are strict, so scripts cannot override them.

Through passwords, you can also disable menu commands. Unfortunately it's pretty much all or nothing. The better way would be to use the plugin mentioned in the last post.

hi, dan ! if you want the user to create record but not able to create the record through menu , then you can set this in a access previlige.

1. go to password / make a master password / then make a user password with

limitation.

2. for the user previlige : in a box ---> select

browse,edit,delete,create,print, override data and

select menu command as "editing only".then hit done.

3. now close the file and re open it with user password to see if that is what

you want.

HTH...
