Hey, how can hide the (File, Edit, Insert....) bar?

I need to hide it because the user is NOT allowed to Delete anything without a Password!

I also need to know how to block the Contextmenu (right Click).

Thanks for youre Help in Advance!

A easy way to do this is to go into Accounts & Priveges and setup a user called "User". Modify the associated privilege set to have minimum menu options, editing may work also. When you are done with the solution, set the file options to automatically log in as "User". You can do a lot more with this, and I do not know how you are setting up your solution, but this is a quick way to get what you want done, and no monies need to go to a plug-in.

If you get stuck logging in as user, remember to hold down "Option" (Mac) or "Shift" (Win) to bring back the password dialog. You can then log in as Admin again or whatever you named your admin account.

You could also leave all the menu options turned on (as opposed to editing or minimum), but change the "User" account privileges to not allow deleting records, or only under certain conditions. I use this to only allow deleting records when certain conditions are met (e.g., an order can be deleted as long as it hasn't been placed yet, after which it is permanent). This can be useful when you don't want to disable many of the other menu commands (such as Find).
