need help with start up script

[solarpunk]

I am running filemaker 6.0. Basically i want to create start up script that will check the username in the preferences and route that user to specific layout. Let say james go to Enroll layout and David go to Inquiries layout.

Thanks

are the users on windows or os x or os9, will make a difference, windows and macosx have user accounts but 9 machines not the same way, in a script use status(currentusername)

use patterncount or ifs to take the user to the correct layout. set globals on entry screen, or set up passwords or groups based on passwords to move user around.

It is a mix enviroment, pc and macs.

Thanks. i will give a try.

You can also test for the current user platform via Status(CurrentPlatform), and if the user is on Mac OS9, figure out another way to route them, as OS9 gets the computer's name, rather than a user name. I customize the opener files on OS9 machines individually to route the user directly to where I want them to go.
