I have a multi-user database in which I have turned off the ability to
delete for all regular users. However I have a few scripts where a
delete is necessary (usually a blank record the script auto-generated
but the user failed to fill in). I checked the 'Run Script With Full
Access Priviledges' option, thinking this would run the script as an
admin and allow record deletion. However it doesn't. Am I
misunderstanding how this option works?

Thank you,
Kevin

'Run Script With Full Access Priviledges' will work on any steps within
that particular script. It will not work on any sub-scripts that are
run. You might also try running the script without a Set Error Capture
step, just in case this is hiding any validation problems that are
preventing the script from properly running.

Additionally, the Run with Full Access Priv's ONLY overrides privileges
in the current file. If the table you are trying to delete records from
is in another file the script must be in that file too.

Thank you Dave! The problem is that I'm trying to delete a record from
a different table.

Glad I could help.

Its a security feature of filemaker that it works like this.

Fortunately the solution is as simple as moving the script to the
appropriate file.
