FM5.5 Access Privileges

[daveinc]

I know, why would anyone be using FM 5.5! I have a client that uses FM Server 5.5 and FMP 5.5. They somehow have the access privileges configured to the layout and field level with no groups. This setup also has standard users (by their shared  password) set to not be able to edit records in the Access Privileges Dialog, yet they can create new records and edit the new record. I had to add some new fields for them to use. The standard users cannot edit these new fields. They can edit the already existing fields. WTH? I need to have it so a standard user can only edit a new record that they just created but also be able to edit the new fields I just added to the database. They can edit the new fields if I put a checkmark in Edit Records in the Access Privileges Dialog, but then they can also edit records made in the past and the client does not want this but wants them to only be able to edit a new record they just created. This makes no sense to me. Can anyone help?
