Unable to re-order layouts

[Darren Emery]

I have searched numerous times for an answer to this one - but I'm stumped.

Using FM 5.0 - I need to re-order my layouts in the pop up tab. The command in the layout menu is there, but grayed out, so I cannot use it!

Any suggestions?

Are there passwords to this file?

Is this a file you made?

[Ocean West]

are you the only user to the database, is it local to your machine? (not hosted / shared)

[Darren Emery]

to answer questions above,

I didn't create the file, but I'm the manager of the db now that the creator no longer works here.

As far a I know, my password is the highest level, I can modify everything else.

The file is on a server that is access by about 15 units.

BTW - thanks for the quick responses!

The file should be unserved first and then you should make changes to your layout order.

[Darren Emery]

unserved?

I ask all users to disconnect - or force via server before I try to make changes.

Is this the same as unserve?

[Lee Smith]

If you have the highest access code, you should be able to review the all passwords groups under the Access Privileges.

If so, you can verify that you hold the highest password, if not than I feel your access isn't allowing you to change the layouts.

Looks like I do not have master access - I cannot find the Access Privileges command on the file menu - which means I'm not logged on at the highest level, according the the help file.

Thanks for the guidance - I'll post back when I get help from my boss regarding access and let you know if that solved the issue.

I'm pretty sure that layouts can only be re-ordered in FMP 5/6 on files that are opened locally: ie, not hosted with FM Server.
