iacon Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I've created a site using the Site Assistant. This database is managing more then 500000 records and I want to stop people doing a search when the search fields are blank. When this happens it takes loads of time to return a result because it is finding all records. Is there a way to stop this. Or This database has many differnt access names (one for each client), is there a way to tell it to only find the records applicable to the person who's logged in? I think my 2nd request would be better so that the find can be a kind of "find all" option. But what ever is easier. Any help!
Martin Brändle Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 With respect to the empty field problem, there are two possible solutions: - add Javascript code that checks the field. However, because this is client-side, this can be bypassed (e.g. by turning Javascript off, or by downloading the form page and modifying it). e.g. you have a field query that has to be checked, then the JavaScript code could look like this: and the form must be modified like this: - another, more secure way is to check the field server-side before the query is submitted. This, however, involves some sort of intermediate database.
