I working with a database with several users and one file. Security for the file consists of a layout that starts out by having users auto loging in with a guest account and automatically switching to a layout "Startup". From here users can click on one of five buttons. All five buttons run a login script (for username/password entry) that takes them to different layouts. Once they are logged in, I want them to be able to select a logout button at the bottom. The button should run a script to take the user back to the "Startup" layout and log them out automatically. Once they click on one of the five buttons again they would HAVE TO enter a password/username to go anywhere.

I can't figure out how to log them out in the script. Please help!

Use the Re-login script step.

I still can't get it work work properly. Here is what my script says:

Go to Layout ["Startup" ()]

Re-Login []

Allow User Abort [Off]

I have the script attached to a button on another layout and when clicked, it instantly brings up a login box (before it goes to the layout like I want it to). If I enter a user/pass it takes me to the startup screen (already logged in). It even allows you to cancel and then click continue (for the script) and the user is still logged in.

How can I get it to totally log the user out... or auto log into the standard "Guest" account by FileMaker just like it does when the file is closed and then opened again?

Greg

In the Re-login options you can specify no dialog, and have the account set to Guest.

Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to have it access the Filemaker Guest Account so I created a new one with Guest access and it works.
