QUESTION POSED ON: 20 December 2002
I would like to inhibit some people (with Author & Create Document access) from creating certain kind of documents (e.g., parameters documents) within a database while retaining the ability to create others. The parameters documents must still be able to be copied, pasted and printed by other people.

The $keepPrivate is not a good solution for me at all, nor the QueryPaste event in views, which works on select docs on the view and not on the documents in the clipboard being pasted.

Two ways I can think of: Easy and Harder.

Easy: Set the view access of the form (parameters form) so that those people do not have access to see the form (set up a role, for instance, and exclude those not in the role, or set up a role and only include those in the role who should have access and set it appropriately here).

Harder: In the QueryOpen and QueryChangeMode events, use the ACL functions (like @UserRoles, etc. or the LS equivalents) to set the Continue parameter to False if the current user doesn't fit the profile of someone who can create/edit this type of document.
