Hi all,

I'm trying to make my first steps with Bookends and then created a database with just one entry. But obviously something went wrong with my setup: When I'm going to access the Formats Manager, I get the following message: Database Engine Error: 365826.

Another strange thing: The Formatted View isn't working, since I receive "You don't have read/write privileges for the format "...".
I think there's something wrong with my rights and the first error falls also in that category.
I'm grateful for any hint.

Thanks in advanace,
Holger

BTW: I'm using the latest version of Beookends (10.6.1) on SL (10.6.2).

Hi,

Both errors mean you don't have read/write permission to the format(s). Make sure that you have read/write permission for the Formats folder, Custom Formats folder, and all the formats in each.

Hi Jon,

Thank you very much for your help, that worked.
Is there a better way than putting r/w rights for an ordinary user (i.e. not my admin account) on an (sub)folder in the applications directory?

Regards,
Holger

Each user who has a serial number for Bookends on the machine must have read/write privileges to format files, Bookends databases, and Bookends 10 Preferences in their accounts. If this doesn't answer your question, please contact me off-forum.
