The right drill on modifying layouts is only allow experienced people to do it and they should do a backup before starting. Then you can get back without having to figure out what happened to data as well. It is also possible that the system crashed while the volunteer was doing the report (you don't say if they were running a report or creating a new report). If the system crashed it can damage layouts. Take option 1 below in this case. You have two obvious choices: 1) go back to your backup 2) try to patch the layout back to working again. For 2, get into layout mode and see if all the required layouts are present. It may be that just the reference to the layout got munged. If all are present try to fix the button definition that points to the wrong layout. If this description is not sufficient, you probably don't know enough about layouts to fix the problem. Go to your backup. ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
