Can anyone offer me some guidance setting up a user preference table? Or direct me to simple sample file

Is it for a single-user or multi-user runtime environment?

For a single user environment, I define all such fields in a separate "parameters" table and tie it in using the "x" relationship so they're available anywhere and everywhere. Maybe someone else can advise on the multi-user side.

Thanks.

The solution is to be multi user. 4 users on two machines. I plan to have each user login with an account name, but want to track some data specific to each user. Where they were when they logged out and the like.

Its a lot easier than you think. Create a global text field and set it to the user account name as part of the opening script.

Set Field [gUser; Get ( AccountName )].

You can now create a relationship from this global field to a table occurence of the UserTable. Now whenever you want to set a field with certain data for that user, you can allow it.

If you are on an nonrelated table, you may need to create additional table occurence of the orig table with your gUser as well as another instance of the UserTable TO.

Could you explain this in a little more detail?

much appreciated.

Thanks I got it straightened out.
