best way to hide a field

[machtenx]

I have a field for price. I want the admin to be able to go in and edit its value but I do not want the production users who use the same database to be able to see this value when they use the database. I was thinking of using passwords but I'm not sure how exactly to do this. Any help is always appreciated. Thanks -Matt

You should to create two groups (admin and production) and at minimum two passwords (admin and production).

You will assign you production people to the production group with a password or individual passwords for each person and you will assign admin people to the admin group the same way.

You create the passwords in file/access privileges/passwords
the groups in file/access privileges/groups
and then go to file/access privileges/overview or access to assign passwords to groups and access privileges for each group.

The field and layouts can be assigned as full access, read only or no access.

You want to assign the offending field to no access for the production group.
