I am trying to find out how to display menus depending on whether a user has a security level of 1, 2, 3 or none. I assume these four menus will go into the Header page. From examination of other postings here, I have learned how to achieve this for two menus based on something like ...
if Session("UserRights") = 1
then SetVar "FormMenu_1",""
exit sub
end if
... but I can't work out the logic for extending this to display only one of four menus according to the user's security level, or where to place the code - in the Header Page Open event, or somewhere in the individual menu form Open events?
Thanks to all for previous help. It's a steep learning curve for an amateur, but stimulating.

Hello,
I'll try to explain on example. Lets assume there're 3 menu forms and only one is to be displayed. Menu_1 is for user with access level = 1, Menu_2 is for user with access level = 2, Menu_3 is for user with access level = 3.
So you should hide two forms.
The code for Menu_1 form would be:
if Session("UserRights") <> 1
then SetVar "FormMenu_1",""
exit sub
end if
The code for Menu_2 form would be:
if Session("UserRights") <> 2
then SetVar "FormMenu_2",""
exit sub
end if
etc.
Hope, it'll help you.

Thanks, Nicole. 'Andrew B' also explained this to me in a duplicate posting elsewhere here. For anyone wanting, as I did, to also display a 'public' menu for visitors without user rights, that menu can also be hidden using a similar bit of code in that menu form, for example, if the public menu is called Menu_0 then in the Open event for that form:
if Session("UserRights") <> ""
then SetVar "FormMenu_0",""
exit sub
end if
