Cannot add or delete fields

Panorama "Classic"
1

Ok, this is probably a very dumb question. :wink:

I have a (former) enterprise/shared database that I “forced” to be single-user.

I’d like to modify the fields in the database, but when I go to the design sheet and try to add a field, I get a dialog that says:

“Database field structure is locked, cannot add or delete fields”

According to the “Privileges & Options” dialog, the User Level is “Author”, which should allow me to update the fields.

Any ideas what’s going on here?

Thanks!

Maybe Disable Design Changes is checked? Hold down the Command key and choose About Panorama from the Panorama menu.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Yeah, that’s the dialog I mentioned that indicates that I’m the “Author”.

That checkbox is not checked.

Oh – the database must have security enabled thru the the Access Priviledges dialog in the Design Sheet. I hope you know the password!!

Heh. Nope.

Apparently, if any fields are locked, then none of the design can be modified.

Once I ran

lockfields ""

Then I can add/delete fields. :slight_smile:

Thanks for putting me onto the right direction, though … :wink:
