Web Edit Document with Author Field

Hi,I have a author field on my form. When a webuser opens the document in the read mode, i need to do either of the 2 things.

  1. Either hide the “Edit” button. - My hide when formula is not working on the web. How should I validate the effectiveUsername against the name in on of the fields on the form? This will only show the edit button to the user whose document it is.

Or

  1. Create a error page and redirect to it with custome message that you cannot edit this document. Here also a validation is required.

Please someone help me.

Thanks,

Rinkoo Keshari.

Your Authors field should be computed, populated with the user(s) name when the document is edited.

@Name([Canonicalize] ; @UserName)

All you need to do for the Edit action is a simple formula in the “hide if formula is true”:

!@Contains( @Name([Canonicalize] ; @UserName) ; Authors)

Thanks Tim for the response.

I tried this , the notes clients show the edit button properly but on the web the button is not showing at all .

What else could I check.

Thanks for your help.
