I got from a friend a small file in FM7, that I opened easily and on which I made some small modifications. I then sent it back to him for him to contemplate. Las ! he could open it but in layout mode he gets the message : "This action could not be performed as this file is not modifiable". I tried to send him that file again but now 'zipped' : no luck ! What else could I suggest to him ? |

Anyway, if the file is read only, you get that message.

So uncheck the "read only" atribute of the file.

Léon, I just got an answer from my friend : "it works great", he said. Many thanks for your suggestion which just hit the problem in the head. (though, as it worked here at home, I suppose I was not the one who made it 'read only'. So how could he ?) Remi-Noel |
DVD disc makes it "write only" even when it's copied off again. It
works properly on a Mac though (obviously 'read only' if you use the
file direct from the disc).
Helpful Harry
Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)

Remi-Noel I've heard that in Windows simply copying a FileMaker file to a CD / DVD disc makes it "write only" even when it's copied off again. It works properly on a Mac though (obviously 'read only' if you use the file direct from the disc). Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) |

to make files "read only" if you are not the best typer and accidently
hit two buttons. For unknown reasons very rarely I also get a "read
only" switch of a file when I am fumbling at the keyboard.
