Record already being modified

[Tony25]

I have just upgraded from FMP 6.5 to FMP 9.0v3 on a single Windows XP platform (no network). My problem is that I keep getting the following message as I try to use my databases:

"This record cannot be mofied in this window because it is already modified in a different window".

How can I overcome this? Thank you.

You need to close a window. You can have two views into the same record by having two windows open. The first window owns the record for editing.

Go through all your scripts and every time a record editing process has finished, put in a "Commit Record/Request [no dialog]" step.

That's great - thanks for the help. (Not sure why I didn't find that in the FM help files?).

Editing obviously includes "setfield" and "paste". does it also include things like "copy" and "clear"?
