    Password protecting a switchboard page that was created using the switchboard manager

    Hello guys,

    Basically i have created a menu using the switchboard manager, and my question is it possible to password protect one switchboard page.

    Although the manager accepts the command go to switchboard, i can not enter the same command in the code if for example i will have a form that will open the switchboard after the correct password.



    Many thanks in advance

    Point your Switchboard to the Password form.

    Thanks RularGuy,

    I am not sure that i have understand

    In the main switchboard page I have options for Switchboard page A, Switcboard page B, etc..

    And for example when the user selects to go to Switchboard A, i want the whole page to be password protected.
    If for example i point the option for switchboard A to go to the password form , how can allow access to the switchboard A after the password is accepted

    Thanks

    Don't close the Password Form but simply make it invisible when the password is satisfied. Then just open Switchboard A from the Password Form. You can have a public variable in the Password Form so that once satisfied will not ask for the password again until the system is closed.
