Can you get password when a person opens a file?

[Joel Taylor]

Hi, I've setup a few databases ... I have my opening file that opens all the other databases needed. I've set passwords so that when I log in I get admin rights ... when the user logs in, the only get limited use.

Is there a way to find out who's logged in from the password they type in when the file opens? I don't really want to have to create an user and passwords database just for login.

I've got an If statement on the user in the startup script ... so:

If["Status(CurrentUserName)="Me""]

ToggleStatusArea(Hide, Lock)

Etc ...

but if I needed to logon to the database on another user's computer ... this won't work, right?

Any ideas?

Use the Status(CurrentGroups) function....

Assign your superuser password to an Admin group that can do anything. Other passwords to another group. Then If(Status(CurrentGroups)="NotAdmin").....in your startup script.
