Password-required Delete Record Script

[Rich S]

I thought I had a good start on this then my brain fizzled out.

What I want to do is have a user, in a runtime solution, enter a password so that other users can't accidentally delete records; the password would be required before each record is deleted. (Yeah, I know I could make it a one-shot deal through an account privlege set-up, but trust me...the users need this kind of set-up.)

So, the problems I'd like to solve are...

1) How can the primary user enter a password (and be able to change it later, if he or she wanted to) without having to "hard code" it into a script...which a runtime user can't do.

2) I tried to enlarge the text in the user-defined message box using TextSize, but it doesn't seem to work, so is that a dead end, or...?

3) When a user decides to cancel deleting a record after FM asks if she or he wants it deleted, is there a more elegent way than clicking Cancel twice to exit the script?

Thanks in advance for your help--it always is MUCH appreciated!

Ciao,

Rich

See the sample i've attached. I sort of slacked off in the commenting, but nevertheless.

It basically utilizes globals, simple if statements, loops and custom dialogs.
