Thomas An Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi all, Is there a way to prevent users from creating new records by accessing the "records" menu? Currently all these operations are handled by the UI of the layout and there are some scripts that need to be run during new record creation (therefore the user should *not* add records from the menu). Is there a way to restrict record creation to be done ONLY from the layout elements ? Thanks, Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 In FileMaker 8 you can define custom menus. But not in 7. In 7 you can work with the SecureFM plugin (www.nmci.com) to disabe menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comment Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 You CAN do this in version 7, too, by restricting account privileges. The difference is that the menu command will still be there - but greyed out. Note that the script that creates a new record must be run with full access privileges.

Thomas An Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yes, that would do (its ok if they are grayed out)... hmm ... I think I got it now by creating a new privilage set and giving it full access but using the "minimum menus" option (didn't see that option before.
