Unable to modify PAForms or PAReports

Hello GP Community!

We are using GP2018 on premise. I am unable to modify existing modified Project Accounting Form/Windows or modify existing GP default Forms/Windows or PA Reports.

When I look at them in Computer Management, while Open, in the Shared Open files, they are "Read" only, not "Write + Read" like the Reports.Dic is. Does anyone know why they are "Read" only and not "Write + Read"? How can I modify the PAForms and PAReports, Default and Modified, to customize them to how we need to use them in GP, when they're displaying as "Read" only?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Sounds like it may be more a permissions setup issue/question on the machine than with the forms/reports.

Are the PAFORM.dic and PAREPT.dic files showing as read-only while the Reports.dic, for comparison, is showing as read/write?

The default forms/reports for Project Accounting would be in the main dictionary for that module, i.e. PA258.dic.

Looking at my GP environment, the dictionary files have both the 'Read' and then 'Read and Execute' permissions marked for Users, when I look at the properties of the dictionary file under the Security tab. None are marked as Read-Only.

Maybe check your environment for group policies that may be pushing down permissions or something like that, that may be setting the dictionary file(s) to read only.

Thanks
