Record Access Question

Featured Replies

I'm trying to design a Help Subsystem to have a file containing four records, where each record consists primarily of fields of "help" text. The contents of the individual fields describing a specific system feature differ from record to record in order to support users of different levels of capability: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced -- with the first record being Developer, which contains my notes, formulas, etc. that the users should never view.

At runtime, fields from one of the records are displayed on various layouts according to the user's own preference setting (Beg/Int/Adv, as defined in a User Preferences record).

How can I allow a user to change his/her declared level of expertise (Beg/Int/Adv.) so the appropriate level of help is displayed -- YET NOT ALLOW them to get at the Developer set? (Being new to FMP, if there's an obvious solution, I just don't see it.)

Any suggestions of an approach will be greatly appreciated.

use a value list and don't include developer as an option
