Karen, In general, I would say this is abnormal. I have never had to "exit" people out to make a change to an RFF.

While some users were in the system, we made a change to the external form file, saved it with no error. Now the .rff file is showing up as 0 bytes and no one else can get in, we can't bring it up in design. Had to get everyone out and bring in a backup copy of the .rff file So... does this mean that you cannot make changes to an external form file while others have it open? I've seen this in the past going back to 7.6 when you try to copy over a file that's busy; it seems like it made the copy but then if you looked it would show 0 bytes and be corrupted. Karen
