Indicators that record security affects a report:

If you do not own Report Designer

The report's cover page indicates whether record security is active. You have the following options regarding cover pages:

  • If you want to print a cover page every time you print any report, select Tools, Options. On the Reports tab, click the Attach to report check box.
  • If you want to print a cover page only some of the time, you must choose to print a cover page at the time of printing. When printing a report, in the Print Selection window, click Page Setup. Click the Attach to report check box.

If you own Report Designer

In addition to the report cover page (see above), record security information appears in three additional areas.

  • A report's design information (Tools, Design Info) lists the report's record security settings.
  • A report's page heading (defined in File, Page Setup, Page Headings) indicates whether record security is active.

Note: You must own Report Designer to modify security settings on reports.

For more information on security in v9.5 and higher, refer to the "Security Guide.pdf" file located on the CD, downloaded installation image or in the \Wininst\Documents folder.
