I create user ids and passwords for two different users. Can I detect the user ids?

Thanks,

Not enough info, Depends on what you have actually done and how you have done it.

Take a look at the record level access privileges in FMP 5.5. it was designed especially for this purpose.

You said "I create user ids and passwords for two different users."

How?

With FMP you can only create passwords -- I mean real passwords through the file's Access Privileges options.

If you mean "I have created my own log-in system" then that's different: OAM's comment "Depends on what you have actually done and how you have done it" is quite valid.

How have you created the userid? How to people "log-in" to the database?

In FM5 I created Passwords and associated them to Groups. When I Use FM Unlimited, I select the database and then I'm presented with a window that prompts me for a user name and a password. I enter the Group name as the id and its associated password.

Can i capture that name? I am sorry I called user id before.

Thanks,

You can capture anything in Tokens. Not in Instant Publishing.

Well, let's see. What information do I need to provite before I get some direction? Is there a place where FM provides solutions or information about this subject? Basically I have a database where certain records needs to be edited by different people. Instead of having fifteen small databases I'd rather create one database and subset it based on the user id.

Thanks,
