Tim,

You mean just add start_john in Startup Script and when user login then this form will startup automatically?

I will try it

Thanks

Hi Peter,

May I remind you that this was gone over in your previous post here

I also gave you a working sample. You said you would look at it but we heard nothing more. Did you not understand what had been demonstrated? Did you want something different to happen? What?

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

Hi Keith,

Thank you for remind me. Due to my computer infected virus I try to load your working sample , open it but it has error and due to my hurry I try to help myself and try the Tools--->Security--->Define User/group I can create user and group but not success about Startup form after user login so I post a new thread. I'm sorry it's my fault I didn't inform you for this in the previous post you gave me a working sample.

For now I can load your sample ,open and try it with no problem. It works perfectly and is that what I want and also it can show the user login name.
After I learn the sample, it has an individual user in difference group , Main menu form and Name ;calculate field
name = If(user_groups()="","The Administrator",upper(user_name()))

My question is where/how it can load Main menu form automatically afte user login. I find it but I didn't see it?

Please advise

Many thanks
Peter-th

My question is where/how it can load Main menu form automatically afte user login.

Look in controlpanel/tools/security...

Keith,

I can see the condition object and the expression now.
I will do it all myself both username/password and startup form with your prototype

Thanks again

Hi Peter,

I try to see in control panel/tools/security/ and under security in many menu but I didn't see command or key in field that can tell Alpha to startup form?

Do you have picture where/what menu in Security..

Thanks

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

Do you have picture where/what menu in Security..

Yes, post #5 above.

...security/define users and groups/edit user

Of course, you create the script to open the menu form under the code tab of the controlpanel.

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

Hi Keith,

Regarding your sample, I have to questions
1. where/how it can load Main menu form automatically afte user login. I find it but I didn't see it? I didn't see the startup script.
2. how can I make form and let it shows username/department logged in I can create object condition but I cannot let it show username/department name. (please see the attached file)

Thanks

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

Hi Peter,

Have you looked at the calculated fields on that form?

[peterth]

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

Hi Keith,

I can see the calculate fields below
name = If(user_groups()="","The Administrator",upper(user_name()))

I can do it now for the Administrator logged in , just drag the Name in calculate field into Rich Text area.

How about the Sales and Stores Logged in. I cannot do it same with you.
I can use Condition Object and set the Is_one_of() but I cannot let it display on the Condition Object area to show Sales/Stores Logged in?

Thank you for your kind suggestion

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

Hi Peter,

I think you must study what I have sent you.

You will not learn anything if every little detail needs to be explained.

You now need to examine the whole application, from the security to the form and all the objects on the form and understand how they all work together.

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

Hi Keith,

Thank you for your commend.
I can do it now for the Main menu form to show username logged in and department name same as your working sample.

Thank you very much for your time and suggestions to me.
