Disable copy option in a Form

iordep

Hi,

I need to block the copy (Crtl-c) in a Navision 5.0 form.

The form is the Costumer List and the idea is giving the correct access to this list in our stores, but prevents the copy to other support different than Navision.

Thanks

I suggest to fire the people who you don't trust.

I agree. There is always a way around this. If someone wants the info they'll get it.

Once you disable Ctrl + C, there's Right Click --> Copy. If you get around that, there's Print Screen. Then there's the Export to Office functions (5.0 and later) and reports to be printed. Direct database connections through Excel. Restrict it enough and you'll get there, but you'll probably have a hard to use system at that point.

As was said, if you don't trust your employees, don't hire them. And get them to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Thanks for the help, but in fact this issue is important.

We have several stores with staff that we only saw once…when they are hired.

We sell to final costumer, and we have more than one million costumers in our database.

The stores uses Nav with pre configure Forms and permissions, so they can’t see or print nothing related to costumers. They need the costumer list, to find the correct costumer. And the Idea was only block any kind of Copy from that Form.

By the way, we have the best employees in world, but we never know!!!!!

You trust in all your friends, don’t you? But I hope that you didn’t give your house keys to all of them …..

Thanks any way…

And how about software that draws data from other application windows???

My thought is you can remove programs that they can paste the data into.

if this is your retail solution, and you can lock the machine down.

Un-install office, outlook, notepad, etc. if they are only using Navision, that would be a solution, figuring out all the programs that get loaded on a machine is another issue.

To "block the copy (Crtl-c)"
Not a perfect solution, just a start but it could be what you're looking for:
(it works in Nav 4, don't know if it still works in Nav 5).

On the TableBox of the form, set property Focusable to False (No). Like that, even if the user can see the data, it is not "selectable", so copy is not allowed. Select all is authorized but the copy is not allowed.

Of course, it is just, as you asked, to "block the copy (Crtl-c)".
Be carefull, the using of the form will be much more difficult because the user cannot select any record, it's just a view.
