mdpres Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I am trying to script a way a user could go to layout mode. FileMaker, as far as I know has no way of doing that . Does anybody out there know of a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjacoby Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Layout mode is only supposed to be used by programmers and designers, not by end users, so having a script go to Layout Mode (where end users can really screw things up) is just not a good idea. That's why you can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 Every time I think about it I get a cold shiver -- letting users access layout mode. Bbbrrrrr. <shudder> After wasting my time fixing a layout because somebody fiddled with it and moved stuff around ("it worked OK yesterday...") I now make sure all users are locked out of layout mode with passwords. No exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DykstrL Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I agree with danjacoby and Vaughan - You should NEVER let the users into the layouts - it will only cause you more trouble and heartache than you can imagine. Think about this another way - if the user isn't smart enough to figure out how to get into Layout Mode, what makes them smart enough to know what to do if you did have a way to script them into it?
