Hidden field by role after db copy

We have a database that has been in production for quite some time. Several forms have houskeeping files with a hide when formula of:!@Contains(@UserRoles; “[developer]”)

and it performs as expected hiding the fields from those without the [developer] role.

Recently I copied the database to make a varient of it. In the copied database these fields are hidden from everyone including those with the role.

I tried a number of things with no success:

compact

changes to ACL

another copy

change it to .ntf

Unchecking the hide when makes them show up but hiding again hides them from everyone. Other hide formulas work fine the only ones that fail use roles.

Thanks

Don

Don,

any chance this was a local copy and the enforce acl was not checked? John
