Hello Board!

I've built a database that i've been using with no problems for a while; on FMPv9 on a Mac.

I've since connected a Mac Mini with FMPv10 onto our network and shared the database. I can open it and navigate to records happily.

When i click a button, i get the error message

FMP Error -30872

This is a button that should move to a layout, print the layout, then transfer to the previous layout and progress to a New Record.

Can anyone tell me what this error is?

Thanks,

H

You can search and find quite a few discussions about it.
