how to prohibit access to data viewer

[sedek]

Is there a way to prohibit access to data viewer in a runtime ?

I have created a runtime without administrator account and almost no menus. Everything is controlled by buttons to navigate, print and make a copy of the database.

However, I found no way of hiding the Data Viewer sub-menu, which allows any user to see all of my fields names.

I removed the administrator account to protect the construction of my structure, but this is an open door to peek inside !!

Why did the folks at FM allow this for non-admin accounts?

Do we have to go in Kiosk mode to hide the Data Viewer ?

There wouldn't be a data viewer in a runtime, so we're talking about opening your file with FileMaker Advanced. You could include something like this in your startup script:

If( Position ( Get ( ApplicationVersion ) ; "Advanced" ; 1 ; 1 ) )

   Close File

End If

And along with that you'd want to be sure to enable the options in the File Access tab of Manage > Security.
