The help file says we can do that OR we can open the files in exclusive mode from any computer. So far though we haven't been able to do anything from another computer and strangely, copying the data to our own computers allows it to work here without error. I don't understand why the files can be opened on a different system without error. My plan had been to use the architect on my computer to open and close the files exclusively and then send them back to the customer but the files opened here without doing anything to them.
Would it be a waste of time to add a uitility to our program that opened and closed each file exclusively?
