Check 2 c if user has entered a record
Hi, and sorry, a newbie question. How can I check at Login if a user has a record in the database so i can therefore only give them a link to add a record, instaed of view/modify/etc.

Thanks in advance.

HI, this doesn't work for some reason and even after trying to change the variable to something that does not exist, it doesn't even through an error. What happens is that anything i have in the "if" statement shows up every time?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Please check the FAQ noted below under the section "Admin - Navigate" where they are various options available to redirect user under certain circumstances.

Hope this helps
