Denying access to "Delete all records"

[rayh34]

Want users to be able to delete current records or all found records, but no need to ever have access to delete all records. Did know if there was a way to calc the access under limited delete?

Not right off the top of my head, at least in a reliable way. But you can remove the Delete All Records item from the menu as a possible workaround. However, the issue of what happens when the current found set is the same as all records must be addressed.

Where can you remove it from the menu? I can see toggle toolbar, but it doesn't do it. Checked Info, does not show "Custom Menus Active". I assume only works in "Pro Advanced". I'm using 8.5 Pro, only.

All custom menu work is done either through FIleMAker Pro Advanced or through a plug-in such as SecureFM from New Millennium.

Thank you for your help.

The problem I see here is that All Records can be the Current Found Set.

Seems that for this to work you need to have a relational set (not just a user definable found set)

True, but that would be a rare case with my users. They often preform predefined finds & sorts, and use the "Delete found records" drop down. Just trying to limit the accidental ooops.
