Admin views vs. user views / Radio Button
I've looked through the archives but couldn't find the post I thought I'd seen here about this:

I'd like to elminate the Home|Add|View|Edit|etc. for all "searchers" except the administrators. Is this done in the html.pl file? If so couls someone please explain how?

Also, I'd like to create a checkbox or radio button that when clicked will only bring up records that are marked Yes. For instance, if the field CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED?: is marked YES, when this radio button is checked it will only return those records where the field is marked yes.

Thanks!

To eliminate the menu bar for anyone who does not have admin status, go to html_footer in html.pl and change all the permissions to $per_admin. The permissions are at the ends of the lines.

You can just copy the code below, if you want

Code:
print qq!<P align=center><$font>!;
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url">Home</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&add_form=1">Add</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&view_search=1">View</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&delete_search=1">Delete</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&modify_search=1">Modify</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&view_records=1&$db_key=*">List All</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&admin_display=1">Admin</A> ! if ($per_admin);
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&logoff=1">Log Off</A> |! if ($per_admin);
print qq!</font></p>!;

As for your checkbox/radio button, I'm assuming that you are wanting that to be within a search form. You can use

<input type=checkbox name="CreditCard" value="Yes">

Change CreditCard to match the field name in your database.
