Security on Attachment

[Abbosy]

Hi there guys,

I have added an attachment button to a form.
Everything is working fine.
I was just wondering if I can add a security like a password to this button (Attachment) that would prevent users without permission to get to see the attachment. When you click on the button you can view an earlier attached file and that's what I don't want it to happen.
I've been trying to do this for couple days now but couldn't do it and I need your expert interference to help with this.

If you look at the attached file, you can see that an old attachment can be viewed or saved easily.

If you dont want a button to be used, best solution is for the button to "not be there"
Simply make the button Invisible if the user doesnt have the proper privileges.

Hi namliam,

I really appreciate your help and suggestion.
This again can apply and be useful to people with read privilege who won't be able to bring this option to be unhidden. What about rest privileges owners?
I was trying to set password on it and that worked nicely up until checking the password correctness, but after this I didn't know what attributes I could use to ask it to browse my computer and select the file to attach.
How can find the best way to go around this? This is where your help comes priceless.

Many thanks
Abbosy

For finding the file to attach:
https://www.google.nl/search?hl=en-.....1ac.1.34.heirloom-hp..6.24.1049.1P04LTHjkE0

FYI, it is unwize to actually "load" the file into your database. Instead simply store the file's location. Storing the file in the database will cause your DB to grow in size FAST.
