I have an FMP 6 solution running via FM Server 5.5.  In one of the 
databases, a required field is called 'Service Code'. The user selects 
service codes from a pop-up-list - the pop-up-list uses a value list 
consisting of codes from the 'Services' file.

As of this morning, when a user tries to create a new record (or edit an 
existing record), and enters a code using the list, the message "This field 
is defined to contain only specific values. You must enter a valid value." 
pops up. The validation on the service code field is that it must not be 
empty, and that the value must be in the 'Services' value list (which is 
derived using the Services database.) The value they're entering is valid 
but for some strange reason the valication is failing.

This solution has been running just fine for 14 months - all that has 
changed is that on Friday night the network guys shut down the box that FM 
Server runs on to replace a tape drive - the problem started Monday 
morning. Seems suspicious to me... Anyway, could it be that one of the 
files became corrupted during the shutdown? If so, what is the best way to 
recify this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, 
Chris
