Get(LayoutAccess) function
Format

Get(LayoutAccess)
Parameter
None
Data type returned
number
Description
Returns a number based on record access privileges available through the current layout. You assign the privileges in the Custom Layout Privileges dialog box.
Returns:
0 if the custom layout privileges of an account's privilege set allow no access to Records via this layout.
1 if the custom layout privileges of an account's privilege set allow view only access to Records via this layout. If the database is opened with read-only access, FileMaker Pro returns 1 even if the layout has read-write access privileges.
2 if the custom layout privileges of an account's privilege set allow modifiable access to Records via this layout.
See Editing layouts privileges for more details about limiting access through layouts.
Notes
Get(LayoutAccess) returns information about record access privileges defined for only the current layout. It ignores current record access privileges for all other layouts. To fully check access through a layout, consider the return values of Get(LayoutAccess) and the Get(RecordAccess) function.
See Solving calculations on a host machine for information about running scripts in client/server and peer-to-peer environments.
Example
Returns 1 when the layout allows view-only access to records.
