Hi,

 

I've been trying to understand / research why my "Formatting Bar" continues to check itself even after I've unchecked it!.

 

Upon start up within my startup script where I've chosen to "Hide" tool bar.  Yet, no matter what, the "Formatting Bar" continues to recheck itself upon relaunching of applications, huh ??

 

Now I know the "Formatting Bar" and the "Status Bar" are two different things ... but I just don't understand why the "Formatting Bar" continue to re-check itself upon start up!!

 

How can I STOP it!!!  :-)

 

Any assistance in this matter I would be grateful.

 

Please see .pics.  One of the .pics is the actual Pull Down Menu where I de-select "Formatting Bar" and the other .pic is the formatting bar I'm trying to STOP from showing.

 

Thank you.

 

Tom :-)

Hi Tom,

 

Looking into your screenshots, I think you are just disabled the Formatting Bar in Layout Mode not to show the "Formatting Bar" to user in Browse Mode. If I am thinking right then you are doing foolish   What you need is to defined a customize Menus to enable/disabled menu options to user in Browse Mode. Currently when you open your file its always load the Standard Filemaker Menus which is default in Filemaker for a Full Access privileged user so all the options are available for user. So create a custom menus and install the custom menus while opening the file or Login/Relogin the application so the formatting and more things which you do not want can disabled from user's access.

 

For creating custom menus please refer following steps showing in below screenshots.

 

Step1-

Go to tool option for define Custom menu set.

 

Step2-

Selected the menu items to create Custom menu set

 

Step3-

Add script step to install desire custom menu set to show the user.

 

 

Think this post will help you out.

 

with regards,
