viewing only the records created

[dharkin]

hello forum,

i am going to the well again. can anyone tell me the process of having a user only view the records they create.

First you have to have a field that will store the user that created a record. Let's call this one 'creator'...

Then define a password with privileges for browsing set to 'limited' with calculation:

creator = Status(CurrentUserName)

Thanks for the response but it did not do the trick . The user has no access to the second or third layout.

Maybe I am not doing something incorrectly

Are you talking about Records or Layouts?

What user privileges are assigned -- Password and Group?

Hey it really

"User" password should only be able to create records that would mean access to 3 layouts within the database the student layout, the course layout, and the contract layout. When I use the status "current user" method, The user can get to the first layout and input but when they use the field tabs to get to the other layouts it says "restricted access" and therefore unable to input.

Sorry I was not clear the first time.

RE: input but when they use the field tabs to get to the other layouts it says

It doesn't make sense! Still mixing fields and layouts.

And -- What user privileges are assigned -- Password and Group?

What do you mean with "Field Tabs"?

When using passwords do you have to do anything to the databases you are relating to for instance I draw information from catalog to populate a field in my main database. do i need to enable the same password in the catalog database also.

It depends. There are operations, which will require the same access rights, and some of operations don't.

But this is just theory and asking for troubles.

You should always build ALL files with the same passwords and groups.

I couldn't get the password to go i configured it so the user cannot have access to any tool bars, status area,etc. now they cannot view any files by advancing forward or backwards using the status area.

one more question can you script so a user has to complete or access a particular layout first before going to another layout (student layout must be complete before going to course layout or agreement layout) I am posting this question in the script area also.

Thanks for all of your help i still do not understand passwords that well it must be a curve thing
