Limiting access to records

[dee2dum]

Hi-

I'm trying to limit the access of certain records for the users of the database I'm creating. Basically, my database is a log open to "x" number of people. When they open the database I'd like only the records they enter to appear. In the help function it says that you can do this by having a password that only allow each user to view the records they created. Is it possible to create a seperate password for each person instead of just one?

Thanks in advace for the help.

If you are using filemaker pro 5.5 in the passwords you can limit the records that users can browse, edit and delete.

Basically, if when your users login you capture their login through a database and store in a global field you can do

If( _gLoginUser=CreationUser,1,"")

This requires the CreationUser to auto enter the creator name (or pick up the name from the _gLoginUser

If you add this to all three options, they can only browse, edit and delete the records where the creation user equals the current login username.

Some of the computers have the 5.5 version and some have the 5.0 version. Is it still possible to limit the access to certain records on the 5.0 version?

Thanks
