how to allow the difference user login to start form

[peterth]

Hi all Alpha experts,

I can use Tool--> Security--> Define Users and Group to create user name / password and group for login but after user login where and how I can setup the start form (mainmenu) for each user. May I have sample command for this

and in database security setting , how can I setup the auditing table
what the table look like?

I want to use this tool due to I cannot write all code by myself now
I need a difference user login (I did it now) but after he login I don't know how to setup the start form for him or each user

Thanks
Peter-th

Re: how to allow the difference user login to start form

Why would you want a different startup form for different users (not allowed)? Put a conditional object on the form and show different options depending on who the user is.

Hi Stan,

I want user startup form if he is difference department or difference form between manager and user.

Do you have the sample picture of the above quote for me to understand clearly how to use it, please

Thanks

Take a look at the example attached to this thread.

The conditional object cycles through four choices when the user presses the up or down arrow key. It could just as easily display one of the four choices based on the user login. If more than four choices are needed they can be easily added.

Peter-th,

There is an option for a different startup script for each user. You could make several very simple Action Scripts that each opens up a different form. Then attach the appropriate script to each user.*

See attached image...



*Why they don't have this option for groups is beyond me.

Hi Peter,

The point is I don't know how and what script I have to use in the Start Script. to initial open Mainmenu form when user login.

Do you have the sample the start script to open Mainmenu form (my first form for user)
I think I have to write the script in Code tab but I don't know what code I have to write it for this.

Thanks

You can use Action Scripting to open up a form as a main menu. Create as many forms as you may need for the different users. Create a simple A.S. for each menu. Attach the scripts to each user as needed.

I believe what he is saying is that when the user enters their password into the password dialog, this could engage a script that directs action based on the password entered IF there was a known variable holding the value of the entered password. So what is the variable name and scope so the value entered in that password dialog can be keyed upon?

Re: how to allow the difference user login to start form

Don't know anything about a variable. All I'm saying is create how ever many menu forms you need. Create an action script for each menu form. Attach the appropriate script to each user. See image above in post #5.

Peter,
how about showing how that might work. The attached is a start. the entry password is 'admin1'.

Mike,

I changed it a little to make it easier for PeterTh to see what is going on. You had it set to all users share one account. I changed it to individual accounts. I changed the 3 users passwords to alpha, since I didn't know what you had then set to.

Hi Mike,

I don't know what variable holding the entered password. I use utility and add username/password for each user and it asks Startup script. I need it start a form after he login.

Re: how to allow the difference user login to start form

Thank you Mike,

I will try your sample

Mike,

I try your sample. It has only 1 user login and I have start up form manually.
Do you have one that when database startup and user can login with difference user and after individual user login it can start form for him

I try now setup Database properties and check the startup form (this form is main menu)
but the result is it can user only one , not for individual user

I try the Tool-->Security and add 3 users I can create individual for 3 username/password and it has Startup script field. I think this is for script to startup the form for each user but I don't know what script to key in this field .

Thanks

Peter,

That is the sample I need. I can do the same with you has the difference username login and password but where you put the script to startup form after login?

I saw the the code tab it has Start_john, and Start_peter , Where I put this code after each user login?

Thanks
Peter-th
