user access script

[RET]

Can I create a scrpit that will automatically open a certin user to a certin layout?

For example: If I am "bob" and I am a accounting guy, when I logon to my database it will bring my to the accounting layout.

If so how would this script read?

Thanks,

RET

In start script

IF Status ( CurrentUserName ) = "bob"

goto layout

ENDIF

This would work but would require a long script to ID all users if you have many users. I would suggest using passwords and using the

Status ( CurrentGroups ) script step so all accounting dudes would go to one layout and all personnel would go to another.

[RET]

I'm still lost i can't seem to make this work. I can use some more help.

To accomplish what you want, you need to follow the following steps:

1) create the passwords/groups in file/permissions

2) create a script as follows:

if( status(currentgroups) = "user1")

Go to Layout (layout for user1)

end if

if( status(currentgroups) = "user2")

Go to Layout (layout for user2)

end if

.

.

.

3) designate that script as a startup script by going to edit/preferences/document.

and voila, it should work. The Filemaker Pro User's manual has great information on how to set up permissions.

Bruenor,

Thanks for that tip. Just what I was looking for.
