This is kind of a newbie question, but... I have a need to set some security up to lock out some users of a specific layout in a dbase. I set up the passwords and the groups, follow the instructions about allowing access to the layout per the passwords, but with the "general" pswrd, I get locked out of the entire db, not just the specific layout. My "secure" pswrd works fine. What gives?

This is in FMPro 5 Servr on a Mac

Server has nothing to do with it. You have simply restricted your general password to much. Restup the access rights.

Better yet, restrict the layout via navigation scripting, much more controlable.
