Why isn't the document going into edit mode

I've done this before -- I have a button on a xPage which sets the document into edit mode via a simple action. In fact, I just copied the 'edit' and 'save' buttons from another app. But when I click the 'edit' button, the document does not go into edit mode. I have Manager access so can edit the document. Not quite sure why it's not going into edit mode. Any thoughts?

thanks. clem

An Authors field would explain that behavior. Or if you're using a browser, the "Maximum Internet Name and password" (which overrides your Manager access) could be set to Author (or lower.) – Duston
Hi Duston. I don't have author fields but I added one just in case that would make a difference but it didn't. Still not sure what's going on. Thanks, clem – Clem
What's the code behind the edit button? Should it be a partial refresh, or a full refresh? In that case, when you click edit, you should be able to see some activity on your Developer Tools screen in the browser (assuming this is for a browser). Check also the Console screen in case you have JS errors. – D.Bugger
Can we see some code? – teleman
@Clem: some things to try: 1. Have a look at the page's url; if it's open in read mode the query string part should contain "openDocument". Change this to "editDocument" leaving the remainder as it is. Then hit <Enter> reload the page with the altered Param. If this doesn't switch into edit you need to double check your access rights. - Next you can make a copy of your page and strip it down to a minimum: one doc datasource, just a few simple fields plus a NEW edit button using the same simple action (you mentioned you had copied the button from somewhere else) - good luck – Lothar Mueller

Well... I really hate to admit this but I found the problem. Before dropping the form fields into the Application Layout Control facet field, it looks like I added a panel and made the panel readonly! .
