Okay, I just resolved this issue while typing out this email. I will, however, send out my original issue as well just in case any of you run across this. The problem ended up being that the archive form and the parent form didn't have the same permissions. You know, it would have been nice if the system would have told me that was the problem. It HAS to know....
Remedy 6.3 Admin 6.3 User 6.3 Windows 2k3 SQL Server 2k I'm getting an error when trying to change the archive settings on one of my archive forms. The error shows as below: The Archive form is invalid. Archive form should not be in use and it's [sic] data fields should match those in the main form. Please check the manual for requirements for a valid Archive form. (ARERR 8999). The problem is, I just today set up arching on this form. I let remedy create the archive form itself, so I know it should be a valid archive form. The only thing I can think of is I had made a change to the archive form. I took away a permission group so it would not be visible to my users. I think that the archive happened to be running at this same time, so I'm wondering if something messed up. Is there a flag somewhere in a remedy ticket I need to reset? I tried cycling remedy, but that didn't help. Coincidentally, whenever I created the archive form, the default value for two of my fields on the primary form was set to $NULL$ instead of their existing values. On the Archive form, they were correct.
