Passwords record level security, in FM <5.5?

[falkaholic]

I'm setting up some passwords that use the Browse, Edit, and Delete by calculation. Since that is a new feature to FM pro 5.5, and vesrions below 5.5 can still open the file, this poses some concern. Is this an issue? I've searched around a bit and didn't find much.

To make sure, I've put this as the first line in the start up script.

If [ TextToNum(Middle( Status(CurrentAppVersion), 5, 3 ) ) > 5.5 ]

[stuff]

Else

Message[blahb lah]

close[]

End If

If you use any of the conditional access features of 5.5 or later, FM 5.0 or earlier will only open the file with a password that is high enough to allow unconditional access.
