Drop-down listbox of FM accounts.


  I am creating a FM database that will make the use of accounts, but I don't want to use FileMaker's factory logon windows.  Instead I would like to use layout logged in as guest and have a dropdown list of all the accounts and a password with bullets masking the password and have my database go from there depending on what user logged in.  I'm new to FM.

Thanks,
Thomas.

Thanks, now I understand.  Any clue how to mask the password feild?
not in a field in a layout; you can use white characters on a white background, but copy/paste can pinch it.
instead, use a button with triggers a script where you gonna use a custom dialog. in this function, you can mask the field data with stars, using the passwd type.
tell me if you need an example.
