[FX.php List] Strange occurrence w/ FMP8 databases

[Bob Patin]

I have 4 databases on a server for one of my clients; she called  
yesterday to tell me that 2 of her databases are not allowing her to  
have full access to the files.

I looked at the files, and they were read-only, even though they'd  
been set up months ago with the proper r/w permissions. The server is  
a Mac, running 10.4.10 with FMSA 8.0v4.

So I went onto the server and reset the permissions to fmsadmin with  
r/w privileges, and was able to remotely connect and alter the files  
last night.

She called today, and the problem had changed! This morning, she  
could write to the files, but didn't have full access; it looked like  
a data-entry privilege set--no access to accounts, layout, scripts, etc.

I finally replaced them with a set from a week ago... haven't heard  
anything since.

Has anyone heard of a similar occurrence, or had it happen personally?
