One of my users cannot modify, add, or delete records. They have full access as their privilege set. I saved a copy of it on our server. I am able to modify, add or delete records with her user name and password. She does have FileMaker 8 Advanced like I do, but she is using a Mac and I'm using a PC. Does anyone know what the problem maybe?

Check the OS level permissions for the file (Select the file, then select File->Get Info.) Her OS X account should have Read & Write permissions, either as the Owner, Group, or Others.

This happens when you transfer files via a disk.

Tell them to highlight the Icon of the file at the Finder level and "Get Info".

Go to the bottom of the Info Box and there is a pop up that they need to set to Read and Write. It is on Wirte Read only now.

FM Server would be necessary if hosting to more than 5 clients. In that case, the Server machine should be dedicated for that purpose, and not be used as a workstation. (Also, in this case, the OS X permissions would need to have the group "fmsadmin" selected, with Read & Write permission.)

If you only have one user (not networked,) then FM Server is not necessary.
