I have a database called clients.fmp

i have 3 fields

Name:

email:

valid until:

I have it published with filemaker server, so i am able to ac0cess it from anywhere. My question is..

Is it possible to let my clients see their specific page?

for example, a log in that if they insert the name and email correctly, it lets them see their page including the "valid until field" ..

Dont know if i made myself clear, let me know and i can explain it again :

Thanks a lot!

You could create a script to run automaticlly when they log on that brings them to a search screen to enter their name and get their result.

If you are worried about security (seeing another's page of information) you can create a password that would have to match prior to allowing them to view their page. Also make the page they view read only so they can't change their information without your knowledge or permission.

This is what I would do

#1 - duplicate your layout but set the field behaviour to allow entry only in find mode

(so your users can't change the data in them.

Now a simple script

Go to layout 1 (your original)

Enter find mode

Show custom dialog: type in some instruction like "enter your name here"

Chose the name field as the input field

Perform find

Goto layout 2 (your protected layout)

Now set that script to run automatically when you open the program.

When a user opens, it will run that script.

You will have to add some "niceties" such as what to do if there isn't a match to what they entered, etc. Add some buttons to navigate if necessary, to close etc.

This is a good way to start.
