Questions about Status area and securities

Hello,

I was just wondering, with a database published online using Instant Web Publishing, is there any ways that the end user can disable to status area or lock it or something so it cannot be access anymore? Or even better, create an account that only allows that person to access the Status area? I am looking for a way which I can access a database through IWP where unauthorized people cannot access it? I know you can do it through Pro, but Im thinking if there is a way to do this?

Or any way so that the database cannot be edited or altered in any ways by unauthorized people? Because for a particular database I dont want other people to be able to see the 'arrow' at the side and if they curiously click on it, they have full access. Anyways to do any of these? Thanks in advance!

Futhermore, how can i access the database remotely from my home computer when i know the exact web address of the database? So i can go directly to the database with status area on my web browser, but how do i actually remotely connect it onto my local Pro 10? I have tried the open remote feature but havent got a clue, and the 'fmnet:/' thing as well.. Sorry for continous posting...

there is a script step called show/hide Status area.

Set it to hide and lock it. You would have to run this as a script when the file is opened.

Yes i know that, but how can i access that through IWP? And i know, if i can locally access the database, everything is easy - all i have to do is go to file>share?IWP then stop it or make it only accessible to certain users. Im thinking how can i do these through the web browser?

And what about me knowing the web address of the database IWP? Does that help anything? Can I connect to my database when i know the address alone? Thanks

You can't. You need to set up a script to run when the file opens. You do that in File > File options.

GEt the web address from the sharing menu when you set it up.
