>Hi to all, i am tring to open a database called "database.dcb" in a shared directory called C:\DATI on the 'server',and on the 'client' i have mapped the same directory with E:(\\SERVER\DATI). When i launch my application from the server OR from the client all is ok, but when i use simultaneusly the two application just i run the second accours the error 'access file denied' on the line OPEN DATABASE E:\database.dbc SHARED. The set exclusively is off. The problem is why if i use the application from the server or the client is OK and not simultaneusly??

Can you access the database container simultaneously from two clients?

If so, your Network Administrator rights on the Server are Exclusive.
