Hi,

People navigate through my database with a seperate database that acts as a menu.

This means that when you start this menu/navigation panel the database makes a new record (so different users can stick to their own menu during the time they work with the database without working on eachothers menu), in other words every user gets a new record

This menu also performs searches so you have one text field and a few global fields.

Here's the trouble: even though the database creates a new record when you open it (through an opening script) we still sometimes get the 'somebody's modifying this record' message . I just can't understand how this can be?:

The 'menu' database is the first one to open and is being used through Filemaker server with +/- 9 users.

Please help and if you can't thanks for reading the question.

Two things come to mind:

1) Two users somehow end up on the same record in the Menu file. Could this be via a relationship?

2) The message refers to a record in another file.
