Limiting access to container field within a portal

[ErikP]

I'm using a portal to view information about engraved cylinders. One of the fields within the portal is a container that contains an Adobe Acrobat .pdf drawing of the engraved pattern. I only want user to be able to view the pdf, by double-clicking the field. However, to give them this access, they can also delete the pdf which I don't want. Any way to give them access to double-click but not to delete or edit the field? We're running FM 5 Server with FM 5.0 clients all on Windows.

Rather than giving the user any access, write a script that will open the PDF file. Attach this script to the field. When the user clicks the field, the script will run and open the file.

I might be wrong since the feature you describe is PC-only and I'm (mainly) on a Mac but you should be able to create a calc field, container type, equalling the field with the .pdf file
