I am creating a website driven form FM6 to provide support for a cancer charity. There will be a series of searchable records. I am allowing anyone to upload a new record by using the "new" facility, but there is a hidden field which prevents publication until the flag is changed.

To do this I need to use the -Edit function.
I ujsed the wizard in Claris homepage to contsruct a page. This has -delete and -edit functions on the page.
This page is protected by a group ID and Password. The permissions are set to allow both Delete and Edit actions.

The Delete works fine, the Edit gives an error message saying 'not authorised to carry out that function".

Can ayone throw any light on the reason?

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for coming back so quickly

I did this in the Groups and passwords section of the file privilieges, by leaving the options checked which is the default.
I even set a separate group in the same way to give edit privieleges and got the same error message.
