You guys are both right on this one, I was thinking that the field would add onto the ACL access, I will make the default Author and I think I should be good. <br />

Thanks

I know there is some simple thing that I am missing here, but I have a DB which has default reader access, I have a form which has an Author field which is referencing the name in a Mgr field. When the tester who is not in the ACL but is named in the mgr field which should give him author access. When he tests, he does only see the record which has him in the Mgr field, but it does not allow him to edit the record. Why would he not have access to edit with the Author field rights.

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
