Get functions 93
Notes
Get(RecordAccess) only returns information about the privileges defined for
accessing records. It ignores access privileges assigned through individual layouts.
To fully check access to a record, consider the return values of the
Get(LayoutAccess) function, page 84 and Get(RecordAccess).
If you specify the context for the current calculation, this function will be evaluated
based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the
current window.
See FileMaker Pro Help for information about running scripts in client/server and
peer-to-peer environments.
Example
Returns 1 when the record access is view-only.

Notes
If the current calculation is stored and you specify its context

evaluated based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context
