I want to provide a demo version of a software program I wrote in FMP6, and restrict it to 5 records. Is there a way to defeat the N shortcut?

Well you can disable the Menus by setting the menu privileges to edit or to none. However, this may or may not stop users from creating records. Or you could make the 5 records before hand and prevent their deletion or the creation of new ones.

What version of FMP do you intend to use for your new demo?

Hi Steven,

I'm using Ver.6 Developer.

Depending on how tight you want to make it, you could use a serial number and use overlapping fields to give the appearance of garbage when a sixth field is created. Can you keep your user in a script? If so, it is fairly easy to just delete any records the user creates over five. In fact, Ctl-N is not available when a script is running/paused.

Run a script at close that delete all but the first 5 records.

They can add as many records as they want, but only keep the first five.

Thanks. That's what I did and it works just fine.
