table constraints

[Rob Tito]

hello All

It is possible to piut constraints on found sets in a table that is part of a database.

I never found any help files or indications how to constrain a table to let it contain only one field, no less and no more.

In a project I am working on using FMP 8 Adv this is an option that would come in handy.

Any help out there??

TIA

Huh?? What good is a table with only one field? :qwery:

[Rob Tito]

suppose the table is used to trigger a script into going to perform a certain script step in the activated script to do just the informatiomn on e.g. a field in that single record.

You would just need one record and not two so why accidentally allow for a nitwit record to come into existence.

This is kind of used up from the '80s and I still find some aspects handy.

So now you want a single record? That doesn't have much use either.

In either case, you can limit what users can do by limiting their access privileges.

[Rob Tito]

It does have a use, I just want to implement that use.

A single-record table is often used to hold preferences. Do a firums search for "prefs file" or something similar.
