I have been asked to create a form that is controlled by "user edit files." From my limited understanding, these are .txt files which live on the server somewhere. If the .txt file is edited, then the fields on the form change automatically. Possibly allowing different fields to be included on the form based upon who is logged in at the time?

Does anyone have any information about how this works, or any examples they can send me?

Thank you in advance!

Yes I have done this with a few things, you do it with the functions FILEREAD and FILEWRITE, you can look them up in the VFE Data symbols reference. You can place the files in a directory that all EMR users have access to, when the form is opened, have a watcher function lookup the file or files and load the information into global variables to populate dropdowns or control visibility or basically whatever you want. If you name files based on user.loginname then each user can have their own fields. You can email me and I can provide examples and help you out.
