I had this trouble when I first started using IWP, but it has been a
few years since I solved it. I think I remember that I had to set up
GUEST user with privileges to whatever fields are used in creating the
value lists and set GUEST as the first user or permission set in your
list of privileges in all the files where you are trying to share info
with your web-available file.
I have a file accessible via IWP that uses value lists and displays
all sorts of info from linked files, so it is possible--at least in
the Mac versions of Filemaker and FM Server.

So far, one file is published and works fine.
My problem is that I cannot get access from within the published
file to value lists, and records, in related files. Do relationships
between files in IWP function as they would in a local network? Are
value lists available across files in IWP? Am I right to assume a
record created in the IWP file needs to be submitted first, so that
the matching field value will work?
The user has full admin rights to all files.
Even if I activate “Access via IWP” in extended privileges in the
source files, value lists & related fields are not available – I get
a “<File Missing> error on the web page, and the field with the drop-
down list using another files value list, will not allow any data
input.
Any help would be welcome.
