I am using the relational database mod.

In the items.db, I want to give permission-to-add only to users who meet a certain criteria (field=y) in the users.db.

In other words:

if field=y in users.db, permit ADD in items.db
if field=anything but y, do not permit ADD in items.db

Thanks, in advance, for helping me on this.

Check out the add permissions mod either in the resource center or on JPDeni's web site http://jpdeni.com/dbman

This should provide what you need. You can also search under permissions in the FAQ noted below or here in the forum for any related threads.
