Title
Networked file access problem
Post
I have several files shared using FM Server 8. Yesterday one of the files had multiple crashes after which it appears to be "locked". It now functions as a non-modifiable file even though it is NOT locked, and I have a full access password. I have tried pressing "shift" when opening the file, it does not fix the issue.
If I open the original file through regular FMP on the server computer, I can edit the file and modify records. When I open it on my client computer through FM Server, I cannot.
How do I fix the file?
Any time a file crashes, the crash may have damaged the file. I'd run a recover on any of the files that were forced closed by a crash to check them for damage.
Things to keep in mind about Recover:
While Recover almost always detects and fully corrects any problems with your file...
