I built a full on user/groups table pair and class system to pull the info when the database loads. I have a login form that opens and which the user has to successfully fill out before the FE will open, from which I capture the UserID. Having that I then have a function similar to UserInGroup(UserID, GroupID) I can then make "rules" in the FE that says specific groups (or users) can edit / see / use specific things, whether that be forms, controls on forms, properties of controls / forms etc. So for example, I when it loads, I can have a form check whether a user is allowed to view the data at all, or whether the group that the user belongs to can edit the data etc. Having a full blown system like this built into my framework makes all kinds of checks dead simple.

I would like anyone to view another individuals records but I am trying to prevent another individual from editing or deleting a record that does not belong to them. Does someone have an example of a login process and then disabling a record from being deleted or edited by another individual. I tried the security wizard but I could not seem to get it to work. There is a delete and edit buttons on the form for each record displayed Thanks for the help John -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
