Can't Enter Info Into Web Published Database

Featured Replies

I've created a database using FM8. I have it setup so upon opening, the user is logged on as guest and a new record is created. The user can then proceed to enter data into the fields I've created. This works great from the Filemaker application. Then I publish this database on the web and, just as it should, a new entry is created. The only problem is that the user cannot enter data into any of the fields. It seems like they are locked, but I am unaware of any setting that would cause this. Does anyone know what would be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

Does that User have "Write" permission?

The user settings under Guest indicate they should be able to write to a field. Also, I've logged into the database as the admin user and have the same problem. It seems to be independant of which user it is.

The only other thing I can think of is if the Layout being used is setup for data entry?

Good Luck.

Garry
