I am quite new at using filemaker and I don't think that my question should prove to be very hard for someone somewhat more advanced then me. I'll try my best to explain. I have the Dutch version of filemaker so I'm losely translating its teminology.

I have created a few users (passwords)and for one of them I have restricted his field altering ability. Now I want him to be able to alter a certain field if it holds a certain value.

I know I'm supposed to enter a calculation that has a possitive (not 0) outcome to make this happen. I can't seem to figure out which though. I mean if the field would be 'user_ID' and the value that should be editable would be '123', my logic tells me the calculation should be something like this: user_ID = value(123). I also know this is not valid 'filemaker coding'. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Rogier Yntema

user_ID = 123

if user_ID is a number

or

user_ID = "123"

if user_ID is text.

THanks a lot! I knew it shouldn't be that hard. Didn't know it would be this easy though.
