Account Privilege Dilema

[MelJ]

I'm just starting a new database. I only have one table 2 layouts and no scripts. I've created a simple Privilege set:

Records: Create, Edit and Delete in all tables

Layouts: All modifiable

Value Lists: All modifiable

Scripts: All modifiable

These are the only fields I touched when creating the privilege set.

When I try to log on I get a message box that says....

"Your Access Privieges do Not Allow You to Perform This Action"

Uhh....What Action??

I'm not running a script at file open.

The file is about as "bare bones" as you can get.

I don't get it! (Obviously)

Hold down the Shift or the Option Key when logging on to present the credentials dialog. Enter the default Account name of Admin and no password. See what that does.

Thanks for the response Old Advance.

I've been able to log on as admin all along. My problem is I'm trying to create a privilege set that will limit the users access to some menu items. It seems that ANY privilege set I create gives me the same message no matter which options I select. I've tried MANY different options in creating the privilge set, many using FileMaker defaults. No privilege set will let me in uless it's [Full Access]

Thanks Much for your help!

Did you define an Account and attach it to the new Privilege Set?

Yepper!

That's what's confusing me. I've been working on a solution for the last year and have created many user accounts and privilege sets for it with no problem. Now I start a new database and I come up with this problem. (Gremlins?)

Thjis really is not a good sign. I am not sure at this remote distance whether this database is damaged or not, but it certainly sounds as if it might be.
