Newbies billgreene Posted October 17, 2000 Newbies Posted October 17, 2000 My FM 5 database changes its layout when other computers share the file. Certain computers can use the database with no problem while others show fields and text off alignment by as much as one inch. I tested three G3 Macs running system 9. Two work fine while the third shows layout problems. A fourth computer, a Mac 6500 running system 8.6, shows identical layout changes as the problem G3. I tried a Performa too, and it showed the same layout problems. All computers have the same fresh, reinstalled FM software and database, and the same font set. I have even tried running both software and database off of a zip disk. The same results occur. Only certrtain machines can run the db properly. Help! Does anyone know what could be causing the problem!!!
fishma Posted October 20, 2000 Posted October 20, 2000 I have seen this problem in the past as well. What I discovered is that the screen resolution will sometimes alter the look of a layout. As for fixing the problem,... Examine all of your layouts at different resolutions before your done with development... This may or may not be your problem. I wish I could be more helpful. Fishma!
