ggh Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I've got a rather complicated situation that I need help with - let me see if I can explain. I have a database called student_information designed to house confidential information on students. Only teachers of a given grade level should be able to access student information records in that grade level. The information records are not kept in a table in this database. The records are kept in a separate admindata file. This data file is the main student management file for the school which has several tables including: students - all student demographic info contacts - contacts associated with students teacher - teacher demographics class - class information class data - which students are assigned to which classes student info - my data records I'm trying to create a privilege set in the admin datafile that limits records viewed based on the grade level. I've limited the viewing of records based on the calculation: grade_level = "4th". The grade_level field is a calculation field- Last(Class::Grade). As long as I try to use the grade_level field based on the Last(Class::Grade), I can't view any records. When I changed the field to a text field and entered the same data, the records were correctly limited. I've tried giving view only access to the class table and all of it's fields - no improvement. Is it possible that you can't write a calculation to limit records viewed based on a calculation field? What else am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
