limit the amount of forms to certain people (1 Viewer)

[rainbows]

i have about 36 forms of which there are 6 processes within the company , sales , purchasing , production etc ,
is it possible that when say sales log into their area only their 6 forms would show in the navigation form ?

thanks steve

the simplest i think is to Disable the Navigation button that is not relevant to their Section.

I have a tUsers table with their login I’d, and their ‘level’.
userID,Level
bsmith, M
tJones, U

normal user, manager, admin

when the app opens, the main menu grabs the ID ,then looks up the level,
then disables buttons some users cant get to.

sub Form_Load()
txtUser = Environ("Username")  

sLevel = Dlookup("[Level]" , "tUsers","[UserID]='" & txtUser & "')

select case sLevel
    case "U"
      btnAdmin.enabled = false

    case "M"
      btnAdmin.enabled = true
end select
end sub

I just used a modified switchboard and a few Tempvars to store required data.
All I added was a UserLevel field to the switchboard table.

    TempVars("EmployeeID").Value = Me.cboEmployeeID.Column(0)
    TempVars("Employee").Value = Me.cboEmployeeID.Column(1)
    TempVars("UserLevel").Value = DLookup("DataOrder", "tblLookup", "LookupID = " & Me.cboEmployeeID.Column(3))
    DoCmd.OpenForm "Switchboard"
    DoCmd.Close acForm, strFormName

Source for switchboard.

SELECT *
FROM [Switchboard Items]
WHERE ((([Switchboard Items].ItemNumber)>0) AND (([Switchboard Items].SwitchboardID)=[TempVars]![SwitchboardID]) AND (([Switchboard Items].UserLevel)>=[Tempvars]![UserLevel]))
ORDER BY [Switchboard Items].ItemNumber;

My approach is to store the user access rules in a custom system table (prefixed with "usys") in the back-end itself. That way making changes to what users can see and do in the forms is simply adding\editing data instead of adding\editing code.

Here is a sample of a custom switchboard.

Switchboard with simple security

This is a custom switchboard. It expands on the Switchboard Items table to add four additional columns to define view/edit/add/delete security levels for switchboard items and forms/reports referenced by them. It includes tables to manage users and also to assign them security levels. The user...
