Hiding all but current record

#1

I am trying to create a database so that the users can enter the
database and create a record but not be able to view any other
records.

I have 2 accounts; admin and user.

This will be used as an online registration form for about 700 members
nationwide, so assigning separate user accounts is not practical.
I am using FM7 which will be on web publishing. I have tested it and
it works fine except I cannot figure out how to prevent the user from
not seeing other records.

Haven't tried web publishing. In general, you prevent the user from
viewing records by setting a start script that excludes all the found
records from the found set and use a privilege set that restricts the
menu commands so the user can't enter find mode or reach records/view
all records.

Create a new table for data entrance.
This will hold a maximum of 1 record (the one just created)
when the user is finished a script will transfer all data to the main table
and the one record is deleted.

With 700 users out there, what happens if one of them tries to create a
record while another user is busy filling in his data? Work with global
fields?

I don't know what the maximum load is. But properly hosted I don't see why
it wouldn't work. Perhaps the tech-specs say something about this?
