Layouts not modifiable

[Eoin O Riabhaigh]

Hi

I'm probably in the wrong place but it was the closest offered in the menu of topics. I am using FM 16 and am a novice. I was recently changing button scripts on an existing database and somehow replaced the current file with an old version. So I copied and pasted the files from a backup back to their original spots and all seemed OK until I tried to change something in the layout. When I am now in the Edit Layout mode and click anywhere inside the window I get an error telling me the layout is not modifiable. I checked the security panel and I am listed as having permission. I would appreciate any help.

What is the full, exact text of the error?

Hi Fitch, thanks for getting back. I think I just discovered the issue. When I brought the new files in from the backup they came in as Read Only files. I don't know why they were converted to this but it seems to be what happened. All good now. Thanks again.
