David,
Check the permissions on the Filemaker directory. I have seen that sort of
behavior with other applications when we started migrating our workstations
to Windows 2000 Professional. Make sure the user (yourself) has modify
permissions on the entire Filemaker folder .
Good Luck,
Mike

I did have a Filemaker plugin which I did not like, and I never
