Ok... The project is nearly done and I'm just trying to put on the finishing visual touches in the forms.
Here is a picture of my form (see attachment)
The clock is realtime, and the log on/log off buttons add users and remove users from the MWR assets. The formality of the DB is not necessary, but what I would like to do is make each log on/log off button be available/unavailable for each record. hmmm... let me clarify. Each MWR asset is a record in the table (MWR Manager). This form shows all records in that table. Pressing the logOn/Log off button on the respective asset, logs a user only onto that one asset. What I would like is that if a user is say on "IP Phone #1" I want its log on button no longer visible and only its log off button. So that it is obvious to the person using the database that noone else can be logged on and this person can only be logged off. Simple enough right? that's what I thought. Because all records are shown, which is a must for its purpose, there is only one base design record and everything else is repeated for each record. Therefore when I tell the logon button to visible = false. All of the logon buttons go away. Ideas? I only want the respective rows buttons to be visible or not. Not all of them for obvious reasons.
Additionally, is there a way to convert forms to data pages or something of that nature? I've never done something like that and would love to be able to carry the style and functionality of this form to a simple web interface that does the same thing but without having to have the manager open access at all. Trying to follow the KISS rule... (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
