Hi All,

Can a tab have a password attached and if so how would I implement it?

Thanks in advance

Milton.

Hi Everyone

I made a work around with the data on the tab that I wanted to hide by using a conditional filled box of the background colour, I then made a feild in the master section of the file named password then created another feild in the table where the data resides called passwordInput and then created the conditional rule StaffTable::PasswordInput does not equal UserTable::Password to fill the box so the users cannot see the data.

Is there any way I can make the data entered into the passwordInput feild shows as asterisks like a normal password box. Also I would like a script that clears the value of this feild once it is committed.

Any ideas would be welcomed


Regards

Milton

You can request the password in a FileMaker dialog instead of in a field and you'll get the password-bullet option in the dialog.

You may also want to take a look at a technique I have been using by nightwing..

It works pretty well for masking passwords.
