October 26, 200619 yr Newbies I have recently upgraded from FMP v5.5 to v8.0. Former separate files and their relationships are now separate tables and relationships in one file. A few layouts that contain table fields and related fields behave differently when changing records. For example, in layout mode I set my "advisment" layout to view records from my "main_info" table. For some records in browse mode, it shows "main_info" data fine but will not allow data entry in related fields on the same layout from my "advisor" table. Other records show both field types just fine. When I switch the layout to show records from my "advisor" table, I can enter data in the advisor fields and see previously entered data, but the "main_info" fields do not allow entry, nor do the fields show the data I know is entered because it shows when I switch back to show records from the "main_info" table. This problem varies from record to record and seems to be mostly a problem with records recently created in v8.0. Help.
October 26, 200619 yr Sounds like your relationship definitions are wrong. The most recently created data will be behaving with the current relationship schema in place, but I suspect that the converted data is supporting a slightly different relationship setup. Look very carefully at the relationship chain.
October 26, 200619 yr Hi tforbes7: I'll "second" IdealData's post. Further, it may be worthwhile to double-check your layouts to verify they're defined on the appropriate table occurrences (Layout Setup under the General pane).
