How can I lock an invoice from changes after it is printed and mailed.

Regards
Don

Hi Don,

Getting some help may be useful...but if you are feeling brave...here is the general sequence of things that need to be done.

(1) Define a new field (the name is arbitrary)...something like "Flag_Invoice_Locked"

(2) You need to limit emailing and printing of the invoice to a script.

(3) Once the script to email or print is run...include the line Setfield "Flag_Invoice_Locked" = 1

(4) Define a new privilege set in the security manager in the FileMaker database. This set should allow EDIT of Invoice table to a customer setting. Allow Editing if "Flag_Invoice_Locked" ≠ 1

(5) Make sure the users that will be restricted are using a username and password account...that is running on the privilege set. 

This is about a 30 minute exercise for a FM developer...a 3 day exercise for someone who is learning the tool.
