Problems With Prohibit Design on Agents

I have several databases which have agents marked as being Prohibit Design Refresh/Replace set. For some reason I am unable to remove this setting for the Agents. When i look closer at the Agents I see that the $Flags field does not have a value of “P” to denote a prhibit on design refresh/replace. Rathet the $Flags field contains a value of “V” which I would only expect to see for a private Folder. Does anyone know how something like this can occur. The agents in question do not get refreshed as part of the overall database design refresh.

Subject: Hmmmm

How were they created? Any idea of when they changed?

Enough stuff changed with DDE and there were a number of design refresh problems (though I think those were time-related) to where 8.5.x might have introduced a problem.
