LotusScript code to test presence of a person in a group

Hi
I have been asked to perform a task to test if the user logged in is a member of a certain group to edit data in one form and was told it could be done in Lotusscript. Could anyone give me a idea about how to start with this, it would be much apprecated. Thanks :)

You could start in the group document and recursively look into it's content (in each group you could find people and groups).
Easier, but kind of "dirty" is to use evaluate on @UserNamesList.

It's not dirty but a great way to get this info.

dim v as Variant
const certainGroup = "certainGroup"

v = Evaluate({@IsMember("} & certainGroup & {";@UserNamesList)}
If Isnumeric(v) Then
If v = 1 Then Print "User is a member of the required group"
End If

Thanks for your comments :) This is going to be used to lock down the form so only "certainGroup" can edit it. I can see that the first bit of code is to test to see if the user is in the group but how would you code the bit for if the user isnt in the group. would a prompt work? and where would this piece of code be best put? Postopen?
Thanks again for your help.
