This was a local network issue. Now resolved.

RE: [LON-CAPA-users] Changes to parameters are not taking effect
Is there a way to prevent parameter changes? Maybe I set something accidentally.
I have been successful in the past setting parameters for sections and folders. I am not sure what is preventing me from making changes now.

Hi Gerd,
Thanks for the response. I tried it in Overview mode and instead of a pop-up window showing up there was a message: Error saving parameters
I tried other folders and groups and it still didn't work. I'm not sure what was wrong with the parameters. I checked the end date of the course and it is set to July 1, 2012.

I was able to do that before, for other sections and were successful but for some reason when I try to change the Open date, by clicking on the *, selecting the date from the pop up window, then save it. The * usually changes to the date but it didn't. I clicked on the * again and the date that I had selected and Saved, was still there but if I repeat the steps, the * is still there as well as the old date and time. A pop up window quickly appears and disappears, which I don't recall happening before.

It's probably set at the wrong level. Some possibilities:
* for the top-level course folder, parameters cannot be set at the folder level.
* parameters set on a part-level do not cascade "up" - you might have set something for "Part 2" of a problem, which would only catch for a problem that has a Part 2
I would suggest going to the "Existing Parameters - Overview Mode," find the parameter that you set, and see what level it is set at.
- Gerd.
