OK...I am pretty new to file maker..But feel like I have been making progress.

However, I have stumbled across something that I am having a lot of trouble with.

When signed into file maker I can edit multiple different fields on a layout. However, once I sign into IWP...I can not edit any fields. I can select the value in the fields, but I can not change the values...

I am stumped!! Help please!!

Thanks in advance for any input :0)

I have found that if I use the same User name and password to log on to a shared data base using FM client, and through the same database on iwp, I have the same privileges. If I log on to the db in iwp as a "Guest," or with a different user name and password, I may not have the same privileges. It depends on the privileges I have set. Usually a Guest has "view only" privileges in iwp.

I am signing in as the same user with FileMaker and IWP. I have the user name appearing at the bottom of some forms so you can see who is logged in...

Thanks for the thought...I am really stumped on this. Even when I am signed in with someone with full access in IWP I can not edit that form. Where I am able to when I am in file maker??

after racking my brain for a week now i think I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!!!

i believe i was having the same problem as you. i could create/edit/delete records in filemaker but when accessing via IWP i could not(the browse area was grayed out).

you're gonna hate the solution. all i did was select the database file in Finder, get info, and changed the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write.

i couldn't believe it was that simple but it was.

hope that helps
