[FX.php List] custom functions

[Joel Shapiro]

Hi Frank

If you are accessing any data in your custom function that resides in  
a different table, make sure that the second table also has the  
correct privileges.

Otherwise, I believe auto-enter calcs do not always work with records  
created over the Web.  I don't know the specifics of when they do and  
when they don't, but my (admittedly suspect) memory seems to recall  
other times that auto-enters didn't work...  I even seem to remember  
triggering an FM script within an FMNew call to have the FM script set  
the field that didn't auto-enter.  (This was in a DB created by  
someone else.)
