Thanks Tegan. Yes, I needed to set the permissions anew (1 on your list) and that got rid of the message in #2 of my list (copied below). However #1 on the list is still a problem. As for #3, when I click on Edit or Search, I now get the appropriate page in each case, but without any editable window.
