Can I disable printing option selectively for certain users?

I would like to disable printing for all but one user. Is there a way to do this?The form property just says “disble printing” but it applies to all the users right?

Thanks

Dorothy,That is a very interesting question.

Let us assume you want to allow user x, to print Form A.

I suggest you do the following:

  1. Make a new Form (say Form B with one RTF) and make it On Create - inherit entire selected document into rich text field.

  2. Create a button on Form A that reads “Print” which is shown only when the logon person is User X. When this button is clicked it runs the code to Compose Form B inherited the RTF from Form A.

  3. Form B of course is only accessable by this button and DOES allow printing. You probably need to have another button on Form B which says “Print” which will actually do the print.
