Multiple Folders pointing to single SQL database

SUGGESTED

Hi

I have a customer with a v12 installation with multiple folders (SEED, PILOT, X3).  Every folder is somehow pointed to the PILOT data.  I have checked SQL, and the normal SEED data is present,.  If I add record in any folder, it is reflected in all three folders (but not in the SQL tables).  The data is NOT replicating in SQL

Screen changes are NOT reflected in all three folders.

How did I possibly do this and how can I fix it?
