sqlmenu 5.0

Hi all,

I'm about to use SQL Menu 5.0 for the first time. I've already skimmed through the manual - looks straight forward ... but,

The application in question has certain menu options which should be disabled dependent upon the contents of a control table. As I understand there is a SQLMenu packaged procedure to disable menu items on the fly, and they can also be disabled dependent upon the user's role etc.

What I need is the ability to query the control table upon calling RunMenu and set a couple of global variables for use throughout Menu, Forms and Reports. Which could be used to determine if certain menu options are appropriate regardless of the users security.

Can this be done?? or should I approach the problem from a different angle eg call a dummy form with an appropriate trigger which simply calls the application menu after assigning the global variables.

Any help appreciated...
