Password protect layout

Hi all

I would like to simply password protect a layout with a simple custom password using the custom dialog feature in FMPv8.5. Not sure how?

Would not want to use the builtin security features within FMP.

you'd still have to use some of FM's security features because you need to take away access to the layout menu, to scriptmaker, and to some of the menus.

Then you need to give the user a scripted process to go to the layout and in your script use the custom dialog. And depending on the password provided you let them in or not. Note that you'd have to store the valid passwords as data in a field somehere so it's vulnerable.

Would not want to use the builtin security features within FMP.

Why not.

I just need something simple for now. I am really trying to stay away from using the built-in security features. thanks.

Again, why? The built-in security with a couple privilege sets would make this easy and secure.
