Simple formula in action stops working for some users

In a database I have an action with a very simple formula:

FIELD ApproveButtons:=1

It has been working for a long time, but suddenly it stopped working for one of the users. This happened a month ago, but the last week the problem has spread, so now three other users experience the same problem. What I mean, when I say it stopped working, is that the code is simply not run when they click the action button. I have experienced this before a few months ago in another database(also 6.5.2) with a very similar action formula. At that time I fixed the problem simply by creating a copy of the database (same ACL and roles definition). In the new copy everything worked again. So I tried doing this again, and the result was same: everything worked again. But I don’t like this kind of approach of course. Does anyone know what is going on and how to solve this in a more correct manner?

Just make sure the document’s preview pane is closed. If the preview pane is even just slightly open the way you won’t even notice, some functions do not execute.

Of course!!! What a banality. I simply didn’t see the forest because of all those trees :slight_smile: Thanks a lot Patrick.
