First, I have pretty much zero experience with Filemaker. My problem with Filemaker is that I had to move the DB's from a NT4 server to a 2k server. I disconnected the DB's copied them over to the new server, re-ip'ed the new server to the old servers address and named the new server with the old server's name. The old server is offline now. The problem that I am running into is when a user tries to enter new information into a form on the Filemaker client program it states that "the field is not modifiable". Am I over looking something in copying the DB's from the old server? Please help.

TIA

My first thought is to check and see if the value that the user is trying to data entry into is a calculation.

And secondly, check that the files have not been made into "read only" files during the copy over.

I did double check if they were read only but they are not. When the user tries to open a blank form it creates a new number for the form,ie 4629, and thats when the error pops up. It also will not let the user modify any previous entries on the forms. TIA

It may be an ownership/permissions thing.
